TreehuggerI guess I never liked 1:72 heli models, too many rivets in the wrong places for a cleanup, and missing interiors. Somehow Ronan makes it all seem so easy. 🙂 Maybe a trick is to be a little selective about what kit one builds, so the kit itself isn't total shit.

RonanMany thanks, mates 👍
@Treehugger : I would rather say that the final result depends on the time you want to devote to each model and not the quality of the original model .. Mach2 models are not known for their quality, and yet with a lot of work you can make nice models...

Harry EderWhat I just noticed is that you have a Q on the front and the large identifiers on the side are an O. Is that how it should be?

Ronan@Guy : PE is an Eduard set for sea king hc4 : 72617
@Harry : you are right , there is no Q letter in the decal sheet , so i have to make a Q with my brush now 😉
2 November 2023, 13:34
Spanjaardyou are the master about brushing details, but why not simply take a piece of black decal to make the missing line in the Q?

Shar DipreeLooks absolutely fantastic. I'm excited to see what the finished model will look like. 👍👍👍👍

Gary VictoryReally nice detail work Ronan. Love the work you are putting into this kit.

bughunterHow the hell is it possible to work _THAT_ cleanly? 😮
Come on, that must be the new Airfix in 1:48 or even bigger!

J35JCongrats to this piece of art. 🤩
So impressed on the detail level and how clean your build is. 👍🏻

Spanjaardmany people can get masterpiece level, but Ronan is usually above that, like for example with this one.... just wow
12 November 2023, 20:19
Gary VictoryFantastic finish Ronan. That's how my Sea King looked....in my head..! lol. Some really nice details added. One to be proud of. Top work Ronan.

Alberto MichielettoCongratulations Ronan, all your work is a pleasure for our eyes!

TreehuggerQ: I wonder, are there any special tools that you rely on for working with such projects like this, that you would like to mention?
Apologies if I've asked this kind of question in the past, I honestly don't remember if I did.
I am very fond of my sets of small drill bits, and I have managed to buy more and more sanding sticks and small files/metal files that I find very useful.
13 November 2023, 12:14
RonanMany thanks for your nice comments 😉
@Treehugger : i don't have special tools, I guess after a while everyone has pretty much the same tools: flat pliers, jewelry pliers, a punch and die set ,small drill bits... I often work with copper wire 0.3mm or less, all styles of steel wire that I can pick up at home or at work. For example, the pitots are made from a copper wire which is used to attach the ski lift pass to my ski jacket... ;D
@Günther : the camera turret is the FLIR used on the nh90 nfh from Revell kit with some changes.
