Chris/Germany Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hy mates, while the "Rhino" is in the spraybooth I decided to start another Tigermeet-bird which was already planned when I sorted the storage over the x-mas days. Did´nt know that I have an ol Revell SA330 Puma "German Border Patrol" and when I found this beast I decided to give it one of the nice "Tigermeet"-cammos of the british Sqadron. Will have to do the tiger-paintjob by hand but this should not be a real problem. I always wanted to do a bige Heli ( and this thing is BIG!), not at least for stepping into the challenge to give it a full set of working rotors and lights Here is the real one, work will start next week...... enjoy cheers Chris "the ripper"..............( ripping´ everything and everyone ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris/Germany Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hy mates, here´s a short update of the "lady in black": paintjob done , I used only the Tigers-head from the kits decals, to prevent from having troubles placing the stripe-decals around the back fuselage I prefered to do them by hand. Another layer of gloss, then she´ll get her decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
