Looks good so far! I think the Tamiya colors look fine!

Cristian A
Thanks Michael for the input, the more I look at the two Tamiya colors the more inclined I get to use them, also I already have them and they are of good quality.

Will continue to post progress.

Looks good so far. Following.
How good and detailed do you think the kit is?

Cristian A
Hi Shar, the details are good enough for a 16 EUR kit but the build is not easy, struggled a lot with the canopy and cockpit. It's not a perfect representation of the real Alligator as it is built after the initial variant / prototype (EOP above, no camouflage scheme and paint references for it, no countermeasure system under the back landing gear and the nose is a bit different as well). The panel lines are recessed, so hopefully weathering will go smooth.

Shar Dipree
Thanks Cristian. I wish you success.

That color looks awesome!

Cristian A
Yes it does!!

Thanks a lot for encouraging me to use it. I was very close to buying this entire paint set instead:

HTK-CS86 Russian AF Helicopt.. 1, Hataka Hobby Orange Line , Acrylic Lacquer, 8x 17ml

Shar Dipree
Looks great so far.
What kind of mixing ratio did you use for the ak paint?

Cristian A
Hi Shar, around 40% paint + 60% thinner. I measure it in pipette drops - example 4 drops of paint, 6 drops of thinner.

Thanks, welcome Guy and CaptGPF. Alligator is almost ready

Mr D
Very nice, how has the Zvezda kit built been ??
I got the Zvezda Mi-8.heli to build soon.
Like the job you've done 👌😃👍

Cristian A
Thank you Mr D! This kit has a few challenges:
-The cockpit fit in the fuselage
-The landing gear assembly is s bit weird
-The rotor assembly doesn't go straight as per the instructions
-The Vikhr anti-tank missiles position

I suggest taking all the time for dry fitting these parts before gluing. Overall a challenging kit in my opinion especially if you will want to make the modification I've done for the search and tracking system (EOP bellow the fuselage).

I'm glad it worked out at the end. I could compare this to the newer Zvezda kits I've built and they were much more easier 🙂

Taking a belated seat for another scratchbuilt beauty 👍

Angel Yovtshev
Well, it's never too late Alec K.

The Carro Veloce is on hold now- I ordered 2 sets of PE grills for the radiator compartment with a modeling buddy of mine and wait for their arrival.

Cheers,
Angel

Angel Yovtshev
Well, my buddy seems to be quite busy, so I went for another solution for the radiator grills- I have been given an IBG's Lancia 3RO PE fret a year ago and found that the radiator part matched the patern of Ansaldo's radiator grills perfectly .So I made a short session of measuring, cutting and soldering.

I'm in 😎

Angel Yovtshev
I've been busy with 2 scratchbuild projects lately...
Besides finishing 2 other shelf queens.So not much time for the Ansaldo...

I think I'll come back to it in the comming winter, providing my younger daughter points me the new right head for the photographer.Head #3 is an ex...

Cheers,
