Bart Goesaertlooking good. I do hope you don't have as much sinkmarks at the exterior parts as my kit has...

RonanI agree with you Bart, many parts of the NFH are bad molded. I use putty everywhere to fill molding defects.
The first part of the kit has been release by korean and the nfh part by portuguese.🙂

Christian BruerRazor sharp work so far and a very nice and subtle weathering on the interior parts.

Murad ÖZERnah i like the Aussie version better... 😄
j/k Ronan i'm sure this one's going to be another killer build, have fun!

Mats BengtssonVery impressive so far. It'll be interesting to see how this project is progressing. Well done.

RonanThank you 🙂 it'll be a french Navy nh90 with tail and blades folded, with two MU90 torpedoes...

Roland SachsenhoferMarvellous and very convincing... you are sue the kit is in 1:72? 🙂

Dirk HeyerHi Ronan,
at first, I was following all your previous Chopper builts, and your actual NFH 90 project is impressive as all your works.
Your work inspired me as well and as this chopper is one of my very close "wish to built models" I`ve some questions about your actual french version.
The Sonar Flash of the Revell kit, is it the version used in french NFH 90 heliicopter? Because there is an another well known type of Sonar Flash in use! I believe this type is from nation to nation different?!
How do you fold the main rotor blades? With or without the typical yellow or red arresting equipment seen on some actual fregate pictures?
I`ve found only orange colored french test torpedos on pictures of the Caiman. Wich of that two proposed colourshemes of the Revell instruction do you think is usefull for the french torpedo?
Many many Thx in advance
Dirk

RonanHi Dirk, thanks for congrats 🙂.
Yes the sonar used in the kit is the French one (THALES). The designer of the kit is one of mine. For Italy and Netherlands it is quite different.
To fold the rotor i have to remake the system of articulation blade by blade. The rotor of the kit is the TTH one.
I don't know if i will do the yellow arresting equipment because it is not very nice. I'll see that when the model will be finished.
If you want to make a " good for war " torpedoe : the body has different tones of metal and the head is black, a red-brown ring and a yellow one.
If you want to make a training torpedoe : the same with only a blue ring.
If you want to make an inert torpedoe : overall orange ( mock up color for all weapons).
If you give me your email i'll show you pictures.

iceGreat build so far! Do you know which colours you'll use for the camo sceme? I have a french Caiman "on hold" and I tried to get informations about the exterior colours but I wasn't succesfull. Is it RAL? Are there any pictures of the Thales sonar whinch on the internet anywhere?

Dirk Heyer@Ronan:
Many thx for your aid! Great stuff! I will send you a PM with my email adress!
@Burkhard. Wow! That`s an amazing task. I believe there are no items of modern helicopters hidden enough, not to be discovered of your camera lens! 🙂
Many thx too!
19 January 2015, 22:02
ice@Burkhard: Great! I only have pictures of an Italian NFH and I was confused when I compared the sonar from revell with my pictures.
19 January 2015, 22:17
Ronan@ice :
i will use the Gunze colours H308 and H337 for the camouflage scheme. It is a good match for the 1/72 scale. I can ask a friend the exact references RAL in you need it.

Kerry COXWow. No shortage of skill or talent here Ronan. A delicate touch mate. 🙂

The entire progress is tremendous and absolutely inspiring.

Question:
The two round subjects out of plastcard besides the rectangular opening on pic 24 , what is it? I know two picture show them, and they looks like two round hatches?

Do you know more about?
19 April 2015, 18:24
RonanMerci beaucoup Dirk !
The two round subjects are fuel tanks drains. You can see the same system below super-puma family helicopter too.

Kerry COXLike I said originally Ronan. Your attention to detail is just amazing mate. !! 🙂 👍
2 June 2015, 11:52
RonanThank you Rolando. I used Gunze paints : light gray H308 and blue gray H337.
12 June 2015, 19:26
Jose Miguel RodriguezRonan I see your amazing work, If you give me OK I will use this as reference to my NH90
12 June 2015, 21:17
Ronanthank you, i will try to be as good as you expect, mates ! of course you can use my model as a reference if you want.
13 June 2015, 21:11
Kerry COXOMG.!!! :-8. I have never seen such delicate detail like your in all the time I have been with Scalmates.
Your level of perfection is everything we want to aspire to.
Salute. 👍 👍 🙂

TWOMBIESuperb work!
I'm going to build the NH90 TTH and want to do a decent/detailed job. Could you give me some advice?
19 October 2016, 14:28
RonanHi Twombie, thanks.
If you want to build a good TTH you have to buy the NFH and the TTH cause in the TTH kit, the airframe is wrong but the other parts are right. And in the NFH , the airframe is good for all NH90 but the other parts are for NFH only 🙂 that's what i did for my TTH (you can see in my albums)
19 October 2016, 17:46
RonanSorry my TTH album no longer exist, you can find pictures on Google pictures : NH90 TTH FRANCE ARMY Ronan
19 October 2016, 17:54
TWOMBIEThanks for the advice Ronan. I guess I just got an airframe to test the scratch build engine intake grills and some other stuff until the NFH arrives 😄

Neal ParkesSalut Ronan, tu as fais du super boulot avec ton Caiman. Je me demandais quels couleurs as tu utilisé? Merci.
3 July 2018, 16:40
RonanMany thanks,
Salut Neal, j'ai utilisé de la peinture Gunze Sangyo H308 pour le gris clair et du H337 pour le gris bleu😉
3 July 2018, 20:09
Neal ParkesMerci du renseignement, il est difficile de trouver les bonnes indication pour les peintures utilisées par les forces Françaises.
3 July 2018, 20:28
RonanOui ce n'est pas facile. Mais si tu as besoin d'autres renseignements n'hésite pas à me demander😉
