As soon as I finish one of my 3 current projects (2 of them ar nearly done) I will start with this little helicopter.

Nicolas
The build startet this weekend.

As I am covid positive (fortunately only with very mild syntomas) I had some time to build again today. So far I am positively surprised by the accuracy of fit. There are no locator pins, but I can now click the fuselage and cockpit together and even the tail section holds without glue.

Nicolas
I would like to do some rivets on the exteriour, but I couldn't find some good drawings. If somebody has a hint I would be grateful.

Nicolas
Today I started installing the controls. Doing so I noticed, the collectiv controls are missinh in the kit. So I started scratchbuilding them after photos. Also fabricated and installed blinds for the paxes.

Nicolas
Started some work on the exteriour.

Interesting project! Love the WIP pics and demo of various detailing techniques.

Nicolas
Hi Freak, welcome on board.

Shar Dipree

Nicolas

Łukasz Gliński
Cool, will watch. Still afraid to start mine 😄

Nicolas
Welcome Łukasz, there is no reason to be afraid. The fit seams quite good, and the missing details is somthin one can improve. 😉

The Colani design is cool 👍 Have fun!
And I hope your covid is gone without bad effects!

Nicolas
Hi Bughunter, thanks.
Covid wasn't to bad, I got 3 day with mild syntomas and 5 days waiting for a negativ test. 😉

Mr D
Done some nice improvements Nicolas... Be worth it, it's good to do this as puts a nice personal touch on it, l need to pick up some card like you have used ( what is it l need to look for ?)
The 2 Revell models l built ...l found the decals took a bit more softening than others models l have done!? the decals said made in Italy....no company name.
Looking good 👍 be nice bright unusual one this 😁

Nicolas
Hallo Mr D and thanks.

You can look for plastic sheets and profiles (tubes, chanels, I-beams, etc,) from various manufacturers like AK or Evergreen or use packing material eg. most blisterpacks. 😉

Guy Rump
Looking good Nicolas, following. 👍

Mr D
Hi Nicolas, doing a good job on the extra detail bits.
Be worth it, you only get to build it once...so worth getting it how you want it.
Nice 👍👍👍

Nicolas
Hallo Guy & Mr D, welcome, have a seat.
Thanks for your compliments.

Very nice build. Ive always been curious though, how do you get such a precise paint job. Especially with the interior.
