Hi! Wonderful project - good luck and hope to see pictures of your build here. If you don`t plan on using the RNoAF Tiger decals, I am interested in buying them.

Cheers,

John

Great progress Bernhard, looks like this kit is falling together nicely 👍

Bernhard Schrock
Hi Alec, indeed. It is a good kit, quite simple with a manageable number of components. Just like the original: no comparison with the Seaking in terms of equipment and complexity. In addition, it should only be one project in between. According „to my terms" OOB. 🙂🙂

Spanjaard
really curious to see what you call OOB 😄 😄

Erik
Looks great! Nice to see that the pieces fit so well.
I can't wait to see which blue you decide on. I picked up Gunze H54, but I'm not sure if I like it yet.

Just a note, Vallejo pastel blue is a very good match for the KA-27 interior after researching the real cockpit and experimenting with many grey blue colors from Vallejo. I would recommend Vallejo 70.901. This picture was taken to show the color on the cockpit floor. I am still waiting for the aftermarket cockpit seats before I go any further in my build.

Brilliant 👍👍 l like Velejo paints, l purchased the big main colours box and can mix almost any colour out of them.
The white and yellow is only letdown as very low in pigment!!
I purchase AK Intense white and yellow and they .. knock it out the park.. Brilliant.
I'm building a HB at min and it's not giving me accurate paint colours! Also some areas n parts no paint colour mentioned! Good old internet to the rescue.
Good luck with it..nice project 👍👍

Yeah thats the one thing I dislike about the Chinese kits, very little paint callouts and no data on the units in the decal options offered. You really have to dig real data to find out and while it can be fun and a learning lesson. I bet a lot of modelers find it annoying. These companies need to do better for the price of kits these days.

👀 thinking of building my first helicopter soon

Great start and cockpit. I am a big fan of the Tamiya kits from this era. A very fun "canvas" to play with for detailing and painting. They still hold up compared to modern tooling if done right.

Mark Sherwood
I'm in. 🥸

Thanks John and Mark. The cockpit is excellent just OOB, considering the year this tool was released. And the kit is still pretty inexpensive these days.
