BradG Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 More clean up on the joints, weapons plyons and various small parts added. Edging very close to some paint now. Out2gtcha and Fabio taira 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I like it! Would seem (no pun intended) to be hard to sand things with all the antenna and cutters on the upper forward fuse though? BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but I'm pretty sure I got that area all good, hence I glued everything on. I've also added the cutters to the lower perspex, but I'll add that part last.

BradG Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 I need to get back to this, I haven't touched it in weeks. Now cricket is finished, hopefully the weather cooperates and I can finish. It's been a pretty hot summer over here and once the evaporative cooling goes on, any painting for the day is over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Cricket done for the year. We lost our semi final and the 4th XI lost their grand final. Bummer. Well I did manage to put some paint on the Kiowa today. I think it's a little too olive for helo drab, but it's kinda like asking what's the correct shade of olive drab. It'll look fine after some weathering. Vandy 1 VX 4 and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Looks nice! Will do nicely with som weathering. What I've figured, Helo drab is a greyish green color, and OD for vehicles (US) is a greyish brown color.Then there seems to be a dark green color for airplanes called olive green or olive drab.That's my perception of things.Here's an article HÃ¥kan Edited March 19, 2016 by Azgaron BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Gloss, decals and rotors have been painted. I can already see a few minor points of silvering so I'll fix them up tomorrow night with some future. It'll be a big tight but if I work on it every night I should get it finished.

BradG Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Probably my last update before finished pictures. I really like weathering and the Kiowas seemed to get fairly grubby, so I've been working in some pigment this evening and I quite like the effect. I've tried to follow a few pictures I found on the net that show where dust and dirt tends to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
