The rotor shaft (?) went together nicely. According to another build of the same model the linkage is supposed to be set at 45 degrees and not facing forward per the instructions, so I did it that way. The instructions also say this whole unit should be painted as steel. But, looking at this...

A wee test fit. The rubberbands have only the slightest tension and everything meets perfectly without force.

Cockpit is done I think. I used Eduard seatbelts since I had them in my stash. All in all I am pleased so far! I added a dot of Gauzy clear over the dials.

Is that what I am doing or is that one of @hamchuck 's photos?

Panzer maiden! Boooobieeeees! Fantastic as expected. Love the paint scheme on this one :cool:

I FINALLY have been home for nearly a day and got to work on this. Today's episode continues with the cockpit, specifically the instrument panels. Since the helo will not have pilots in the seats I figured the screens would not be lit with graphics (decals) so after all of the drybrushing (same...

Ha, you give me too much credit! I didn't know they were modern LOL

That's what I do, make what I like. In this case it was something I had and could make for the MMM month. Having never made a WWII German anything I didn't know it would affect me. I made a German Tornado jet and did not feel that way at all and had great fun with it. "tis what it is" I guess.

One of the guys in my modeling group is of German descent. His grandfather was a Nazi tank commander (who made it through the war) and his grandmother was full blond, blue eyed Nazi, who had never met before they were married. The officers were on one side of the cathedral and the blue eyed...

Wow, only since 98? I wouild have thought since the 50's.

That's a definite "Yes" to the first part. It was uncomfortable enough that I won't do another. I am ok with that!

It is amazing that you knew that! I had no idea where it came from, it was in a pile of decals someone gave me.

Hangry's is fantastic for burgers. Crossroads is breakfast heaven. And I appreciate the offer and I would NOT take you up on it. We have a literal army of volunteers who have offered and have a list of numbers to call. Two have said they will be highly offended if I don't call when the time...

Interestingly enough, and I don't know what it means or says about me (a tiny look inside my warped brain here), but it felt weird putting WWII Germany decals and paint scheme on this. That is just me. It felt like...IDK,..evil. I couldn't bring myself to put the swastikas on it. I have a card...

Yessir. No more bomb shelter :cry: We bought six acres with 3 houses on it and are opening an art school to go along with the retail. I will still have the model shop, it will just be in a 1910 farmhouse. 161 Ga SR 17, Clarkesville Ga 30523. Now whadamagonnacall the shop?
