Refuelling Cobra

Andreas Koziol
Ein Meisterstück! Perfect in details & painting! 👍

Spanjaard
excellent, as all your builds 🙂

Murad ÖZER
lovely scene. 🙂

HMR
Really great job and nice pictures. Photo 12 looks amazing!

Holger Kranich
Absolute nice scene! Well done! 👍 But what happened to the rotorhead? Got too hot in the desert?😉

Jean-Michel Tilquin
Wow very fine!

Neuling
Gentlemen, thank you for your interest in my diorama and your appreciation! Holger, I built this one in 1999, so I don´t remember the whereabout of the rotorhead and the temperatures. I was naive and trusted in the brand name of the kit manufacturer MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation). Help me: Where should the rotorhead be placed and how does it look like?

Holger Kranich
Moin! Gerade auf Bild 19 fällt die Ausrichtung des gesamten Rotors auf. Der müßte eigentlich kerzengerade sein und nicht nach vorn und hinten runterhängen. Daher mein Spaß mit der Hitze.😉

Neuling
Vielen Dank, Holger. Die Bauanleitung schrieb vor, die Rotoren in "a drooping way" zu montieren. Referenzbilder hatte ich damals nicht, im Netz war ich noch nicht unterwegs, so daß ich des Guten zuviel getan habe. Deine Bilder zeigen ein deutlich geringeres "Durchhängen" der Rotorblätter. Da gehe ich nochmals ran ans Modell! Ein Bauteil habe ich aber nicht verschlampt, oder?

Daniel Klink
Again wonderful stuff you show here! Really amazing detailwork 👍

Holger Kranich
Nein "Neuling, alles Bestens! Ist ein klasse Dio! 👍 👍 🙂

Andreas Koziol
@neuling hast du das damals geairbrusht oder nur mit dem pinsel gearbeitet?

Neuling
Danke Daniel und Holger! Andreas, ich verwende bei den Fahrzeugen und Flugzeugen Tamiya-Farbspraydosen und arbeite dann mit Pinsel und Tupfer noch etwas nach.

Andy W.
Kann mich nur anschließen. Schöne modelle und ein klasse Diorama

Saeed Ezadi

Neuling
Danke Zsolt.

Stuart Perry
Love it

Neuling
Thank you Stuart.

Neuling
Not a new build, just better pictures with my new camera. - And I readjusted the rotor blades according to Holgers proposal.

David Taylor
Brill.

Jean-Michel Tilquin
Maybe not a new build, but still eye-catching. Looks like your new camera is working fine, Neuling!

Jan Peters
Great job all'round Neuling 👍🏻

Hanno Kleinecke
The fact that this build is already over 20 years old, makes the very high skill level even more obvious !
Another super dense atmospheric dio off the bench of Neuling- Works 👍

gorby
That looks great Neuling.
Amazing to think you've been producing such excellent quality for so long.

Dietmar Bogatzki
Another Masterpiece of Neuling 👍 👍

John
Very cool! I have the MRC AH-1W kit in the stash. Tempted to start it now, but for certain I will pay attention to the rotor head placement!

Mathias Decommere
Wauw! This one is amazing! I love the activity, composition and subject in this one. And the paintjob is offcourse superb. I always enjoy your work Neuling!

Neuling
Thanks a lot mates! Much appreciated! - Jean-Michel, my old Panasonic was good, but my new Sony is better indeed (and admittedly I´ve learned about diorama photography here on scalemates). - John, the rotor head of the kit is okay, the drooping rotors were my own mistake.

Jv
I showed one of my friends some pics of one of your builds
He said wtf I thought it was real
You always surprise whed your level of detail

Thomas K.
Schaut wie immer super aus 👍

Christian Bruer
Excellent work and finish 👍

Neuling
Thank you, Jv ! Danke Thomas und Christian !

Kyle DeHart
Just seeing this. Incredible work and photos as always.

Olivier
The system needed 1 days to bring this 'new' wonder to my attention. I am happy I can enjoy it now.

Neuling
Thank you Kyle! Merci Olivier!

Pietro De Angelis
Wow!

Tommy Agne
Top 👍!

Neuling
Thank you, Pietro and Tommy!

Mr James
Not only are your builds stunning. Its your photography that sets you apart . Your use of lighting, shadows and the realistic POV angels is an enviable talent.

Neuling
Thank you Mr James, also for the many kind likes!

Shar Dipree
Hi Neuling. Another WOW from me. Great idea, something completely different. great implemented.

Neuling
Thanks a lot Shar Dipree!

Paul Eden
Excellent work, full size chopper + truck + jeep is epic.

Lebloge
Beautiful work 😲... beautifull pictures 😮... 🤔 as usual ☺️

Kendrick Brown

J35J
Excellent work! Congrats 👍🏻

Roy Seine
Amazing attention to detail, great work!

Neuling
Many thanks Lebloge, Kendrick, J35J and Roy! Glad you like my stuff!

Rick402
Where'd you get the placards at? Those are sweet! IMHO I think those little details sale the whole thing!

Neuling
Thanks Rick402 for the feedback! Which placards do you mean?

Guy Rump
Another great dio! 👍

CaptGPF
Your dios always leave me speechless - the builds, details, choreography and the photos are just done to perfection. My only complaint is that anyone can spend too much time looking at so many little details done to perfection that they may forget to finish their own kits!

John
What he said! ^^^^

Neuling
Thank you so much, Guy, CaptGPF and John! - CaptGPF, that´s exactly what happens to me when I scroll the scalemates newsfeed. Slow progress in stash busting! 🙂

Rick402
The decal placards for full truck, where did you get those

Neuling
Rick402 - as far as I remember: the decals on the fuel truck were from the kit, some dry transfers from Verlinden.
