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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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 😁

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. 😉

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 👍👍👍

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

Good luck mate!
I assume you know how this kit is, so you know what you are embarking into.

Marius, welcome. I was preparing myself mentally for years but now that I actually see the kits I have to admit that substantial further meditations will be required to ensure progress haha

I'm guessing you've checked other's work on these kits on here?, I'm sure they'll give you a heads-up on what to expect?

Good decision at cutting those air vents. Btw, now it's the right time to decide if you also want to drill the large holes for the lights (beneath the air intakes) and attach the clear parts as well. It's tricky, but worth it.

hello and welcome Andy, Marius and Lukasz. Thanks Marius for pointing out those lights - I attempted to drill them out with a passable result.
I am also finishing up the interiors. i chose to open the backseat of 8325 and the 3924 is to be open also - the resin cockpits were distributed and prepared to reflect that but I am still not quite happy with how they turned out. I will leave them for now, the instrument panell will be the most visible and there is not much to do about that save for buying some additional PE parts.
also regarding the surface detail - it is correct and extensive but very pronounded. I did a pass with surfacer to fill it somewhat. i want the planes smoother as they seem in the pictures. that is what i want to focus on with this build. good filling and sanding so that the shape is nice at least, especially around the cockpit

Congrats on the ClearProp Floggers. I suppose you are aware of the issues of this kit - nice as it looks. If not I recommend sneeking into one or two build threads to minimize disappointment.

Hi Michael. Since my favorite 1/72 F-14 is Hasegawa and I am currently building two KP Floggers, I'd say the issues in Clear Prop kits are not something that would disappoint me🙂 I did research them anyway though🙂

wanted to catch up the ClearProp MLs to the KP bunch.
For a little mini review - I have to say that ClearProp definitely made the cockpit a little too complicated for its own sake so simplifying the process as opposed to the PE instructions could potentially yield better looking result for clumsy modellers like me🙂 otherwise, joining the lower hull part with the completed nose should be done with care and a lot of dry fitting, sawing and sanding. In any case though, I am wary of criticising the kit too much as this is the first time there is an 1/72 flogger kit that actually fits and looks like a flogger OOB. Keeping possible flaws in mind, I am still extremely happy with the kit.
Furthermore, I decided to use the extra clearProp clear parts and graft them onto the KP models. Process was successful with the MF but the UB actually has entirely different windshield shape which of course I know but didn't realize until AFTER cutting into the plastic. You win some, you lose some I guess.. Will try to fix it and I don't think hurt the kit much as opposed to the original haha
I am slowly filling the disaster that are the KP hulls and there is nothing the Clearprop kits can throw at me that would be more annoying than that.

hi and welcome Cuajete, Nicolas and Sergej! I don't have any further pictures but I am currently eating my words! specifically: "there is nothing the Clearprop kits can throw at me that would be more annoying than that."
I am putting together the nose and the rest of the hull plus dryfitting the top part and tears were shed, blood was spilled, sweat was flowing.
The kit is engineered but it is nit entirely clear to the modeller what the engineering specifically is. a tiny mistake at the start easily compounds into serious fit issues later which could still be considered a fun problem solving except that you mostly have no idea where the fit problem originates and the resulting fumbles compound the issues even more. I do not regret my (expensive) purchase but in the end, I have to admit - this is an extremely difficult kit.

Taking a belayed seat. I have read not-so-positive reviews of the CP release already, so not surprised to read your observations. Maybe I'll keep my RV kit for a while yet…

Hi Alec, I wouldn't - Despite all the issues with clearprop - it actually looks like a flogger. RV doesnt really

I particularly dislike the windshield area - thats why I used the leftover clear parts from clearprop on the MF. in the case of the UB I will certainly try but I dont think there is much you can do to make the windshield and the canopies to look well.

thanks Cuajete and S M.
Paint is getting near! I will have to redo the masking on the UB canopies as the masks I got from Peewit are +- useless. sanding the airframes (especially the exhaust, vertical tabs and the speedbrakes) is mostly done.

Welcome Oliver!
I will finish the MLs with black base and then I will paint the details like the nozzles and the antenna covers. Everyone has pylons now and gear wells are masked off to an extent

Freehanding the camo. On last ML to do. After that I will look at the canopy seals, light gloss coat and stencils. I am itching to start on some tomcats but these migs are still quite a handful 🙂

Thank you Cuajete and Lukasz.
3924 and 8325 are mostly done so I am moving on with the MLs (stencils).
8325 is just a big eyesore for me. I messed up the camo shades so the jet looks nothing like the pictures and even if the camo went well, the kit just doesnt look like a UB Flogger - I regret wasting money and effort on the RV kit and honestly do not believe there is a way to properly represent the topic in 72.
3924 however - the camo looks authentic imo and the windshield, canopy and other added details really make it look great. My only regret there is that I did not replace more parts (antennae, nozzle, gear doors, gear in general) and that I used the stencils from the KP kit - please do yourself a favor and throw them out🙂
