Erik De SmetCe n'est pas un hélicoptère! Les pièces en jaune, c'est de la résine ?

RonanEffectivement ce n'est pas un hélico, un collègue de travail m'a demandé de lui monter un transall gabriel. Je ne fais pas ce genre de montage pour moi, c'est trop gros 🙂
Les pièces jaunes ne sont pas en résine ; ce sont des feuilles de plasticard épaisses 😉

RonanMany thanks Cuajete
The kit is not high quality but it's good in shape. A lot of things have to be improved or created

Michael WatzkeYou are right, the shape of the Heller Transall is very consistent, especially with the cockpit windows you have installed. I am curious how it will go on.
Follow this.

Michael WatzkeOk, sounds interesting. How is it, as I known, the Heller-kit hasn't the new black props. Do you need some? I would have some from the Revell-kit.

RonanThanks Michael, but i will use the heller ones ( metal blades) because the C160G spent most of his life with metal propellers . The composite blades were used in the last two years because there was no longer metal ones.

Łukasz GlińskiOh man, that's gonna be a beauty. What are these underbelly contraptions?
10 January 2022, 14:47
RonanMany thanks, mates 😉
@Hajo : my friend bought the heller kit, the final model is for him. I don't want to spent a year to build the model. I only pay attention to the outside details.
i have the revell kit too and i don't like the heavy engraving panel lines on the fuselage, and the heller sigint aerials don't fit very well on the revell
So, if you want to go for a Gabriel, you should choice the heller one

Ronan@underbelly contraptions : these are two SIGINT radomes in the retracted position

RonanOui comme tu dis, quel chantier ...
Je n'étais pas pressé de commencer car je savais ce qui m'attendait, et maintenant je suis pressé de finir pour passer à autre chose 😉
Je vais mettre l'accent sur la peinture, plus que sur le montage

Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEverencore du grand RONAN, mais à la fin un avion de concours !

Łukasz GlińskiLooking forward to seeing the paintjob - I'd break off all these aerials in the spraybooth for sure 😉

Juergen KlinglhuberI repeat myself, but the painting on the fuselage is GREAT. 👍
Is this tonal variation also done by preshading (like we see it on the wing pic)? or whats the secret behind this?
15 February 2022, 16:29
RonanThere is no secret Juergen 😉
On the wings, i tried to do a preshading but i was not really satisfied .
On the airframe , i've used several shades of grey to have the same result :
first : neutral grey, then RLM65 blue grey and H308 on upper surfaces.
The dark grey touch up are done with H305 dark blue grey

Michael KohlWith each pic I am more and more impressed. I definitely agree with Juergen on the quality of the paint job. Looking forward for more.

David R. MeizosoMaster painter at work, it's a pleasure to watch it come together.

Sergej IYou Ronan, are the reason for my poor mojo 🙂
Great job on Transall 👍, the details are out of this world...

Alain BrshlHello Breizhmate ! c'est un énorme travail que tu réalises là : beaucoup de talent dans la réalisation et la peinture ! hâte de le voir fini !
16 February 2022, 11:18
RonanMany thanks, mates
Salut Alain, oui c'est un gros boulot. C'est pour cela que j'ai souvent repoussé le montage, je savais ce qui m'attendait...
Donc je suis aussi pressé que ce soit fini pour le donner à son futur propriétaire. Comme ça je vais pouvoir me consacrer à mes petits hélicos 😉
16 February 2022, 13:04
Gordon SørensenLooks great, Ronan! I really like the weathered and faded paint.
17 February 2022, 17:52
Michael Kohlone of those builds that impress more with every pic you publish. jawdropping.
18 February 2022, 10:26

Ivan BctC'est du grand art ! Un énorme bravo pour le travail réalisé c'est magnifique. C'est un régal à contempler !

TreehuggerNice.
Q: What is the explanation for the smooth paintwork? No primer layer? Laquers? Sanding the primer layer?
29 July 2022, 08:59
Ronan@Treehugger:
The paint job is not easy toi explain because i do it without thinking, and sometimes I don't know how I did it when someone asks me.
The first step : a layer of grey
Then : highlight the upper surfaces with a light grey or white.
Then : a light overspray of blue to give a blueish Shade to the gray.
To give a worn effect : some diluted white here and there, and some diluted black on the panel lines.
And you finish with some touch UP of dark grey as we do during the aircraft checks.
That's it 🙂
