Main rotor from Reskit. Since it is assembled from number of resin parts, I was afraid of the strength with the rotor blades. So I drilled the parts and inserted metal wires.

pato05 - you have decided do not open pilots doors? Why? Your work is amazing 🙂

Kon_Bar - Thank you very much. I was thinking about cutting the pilots door, but then I decided not to and make my work a bit easier. The problem is, that the doors would be too thick and would look unrealistic (like heavy armoured door from a tank). Hobby Boss makes very clear parts, so I think the interior will be quite visible anyway. The back doors will be of course open 🙂

I am amazed at your painting skills ! Do you use a microscope ?

pato05
Many thanks. Olly - I don't use microscope - just a really fine and sharp brush. All painted with Vallejo paints on brush and finished with Light Grey and Medium Grey wash from Ammo Of Mig Jimenez.
