ClumsyDude Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Crane looks really super. I had some sun shining on my iPad screen when I first saw the pics, and I did a double take as I thought it was the real thing. Awesome work. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogman13 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi Guys, I'm slowly dawdling along with this project but progressing slowly. I decided to crew the cabin to liven it up, so I'm into figure building as well. The seat framing was fun and I just need to add the webbing now. I made Israeli style FN machinegun mounts and have crew members for both sides. All the cabin needs to be complete before closing the fuselage halves. andromeda673 and mywifehatesmodels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogman13 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I had some time to look over the rotor head/mast this weekend and (of course) the detailing was way too simplified to to leave it, as is. So after hours of staring at diagrams and photos, I began to whack away with Dremel tool and hobby knife. Pulled my collection of styrene strip and brass tubing out and gave it some details. I'm not a rotary wing guy by any means, but like most scale model builds, you can learn alot while doing the research. Anyway, here's the result....

frogman13 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hey Guys, Happy New Year to everyone ! I had some time this past weekend to finish up my LRRP squad (they're Israelis, so actually called "Sayeret") and now I can return to the task of building. Keep you all posted on the progress.

frogman13 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 I made a little progress and got the fuselage together without any problem. One long seam to fill and almost ready for paint. I also mounted the rotor gearbox to the vertical tail (not in this photo. Everything is coming along nicely. I'll update with more as I start to paint. Thanks for your kind words !!
