ShelbyGT500 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks Dan maybe I'll have some questions about exterior details I'll ask when start to build the fuselage Now continue with control panels and the dashboard, because this in the kit is far far from truth Cheers guys Gazzas, sandokan, Starfighter and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbooyv8 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi Chavdar, Very good work on the Jet Ranger. Actually, the kit depicts the very first production version from the Sixties, hence the small instrument panel, streamlined skids, etc. I started the kit 9 years ago, but it is on the SOD now, because the Revell colour scheme version demands 4 bulged side windows. An I still have to make plunge moulde for them... Anyway, I made a simple nose correction in my thread here om LSP. Maybe it helps you: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=22249&hl=%2Bjet+%2Branger Keep up the good work! Cheers, Peter sandokan, KiwiZac and ShelbyGT500 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Fantastic build so far ! I am always pleased when I see someone building Helos , especially the uncommon types . Yes , the wrong shaped nose and the non bulged ( and tinted ) windows are a problem . But unfortunately also the whole belly , which is (seen from front) V-shaped on the model . The real thing has a flat underside . I noticed that when I extended my Jet Ranger into a Long Ranger . But I see you are on a good way man !

ShelbyGT500 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yes Stefan, you're right for the flat belly There is so much work to do the accurate shape from this kit Small update for today - scratch the "front" lights under the front part of the dash board and correct the rear seats with some tamiya tape: Also made the dash-board decals: Cheers guys and as always thanks for watching Gazzas, Out2gtcha, Starfighter and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 How did you make those decals? If I give you a pic of my panel, could you possibly make me a decal of it? Tim ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
