Hughes 500D (WIP)

Spanjaard
certainly curious about this one 🙂

Bart Meeldijk
Almost crying... The fitting is horrible, especially without the front
doors. But, i'm getting there! :-S

Spanjaard
you will make it look good, hang on there 🙂

Bart Meeldijk
Frontcanopy past niet ivm het 'vervormen' vd rompdelen. Maar in the end past alles! En beetje afgekeken bij deze man: forum.largescaleplan...php?showtopic=52735

Spanjaard

Good start Bart ! Keep up the good work 👍

Bart Meeldijk
Thanks! It's getting there - next up: priming and painting!

Erik Leijdens
Nice masking work Bart 👍 The big rattlecans are easy to use but I don't like the the amount if overspray they always give. But, the paint job looks very good 🙂

Bart Meeldijk
Thanks, but i'm far from happy with the result. Almost threw at away - think i'll start over with the paintjob. This sucks...

Erik Leijdens
I know what you feel! I ruined the paintjob of my TA-4J Skyhawk tonight.. 🙁 Got the tip to get some bio ethanol from the ACTION, dissolves the paint and does not affect the plastic. Think I'll give it a try

Hang in there! You'll do it!

Spanjaard
it will turn a beautiful chopper, i am sure. hang on there

Bart Meeldijk
@Erik: does that work with acrylic paints as well?

Erik Leijdens
The one who told me used it on Gunze aqueous and Alclad, and it worked on both. I will give it a try on my Skyhawk which was painted with enamels.. Hope it works..

Spanjaard
when removing paint the best is usually a bath of Dettol... but that can not be used in this case of course. alcohol with enamel?, may work, but not 100% i guess.... good luck.

Bart Meeldijk
i'll give it a try! Interior needs to stay intact, but no cockpitdoors... keep you posted!
