Azgaron Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks Boris! Feeling no pressure! Been doing some puttying. I removed some excess with wet q-tips and some wet sanding. Some places might need some adjustment, as usual! HÃ¥kan Uncarina 1
Uncarina Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 It's taking shape nicely! I built the 1/35 Kangnam kit YEARS ago, but have always read that the Revell build is more accurate. Cheers, Tom
Azgaron Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks Tom and Boris! Did some painting yesterday. Maybe foil can be used for the reflector like thing in the nose. HÃ¥kan
Shawn M Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 nice work, that belly panel gave me issues as well Azgaron 1
Azgaron Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks Shawn and Maru! That bottom panel was a bit of a pain to get in place, and would have been even harder if the legs would have been mounted, I think. I got a question about those "do not grab" decals. There are four of them and according to the instructions there should be 2 on each side (left and right), but looking at your build Shawn, and on pics, there are three clearly visible on the right side, and I can't tell if there's anyone at all on the other side. Not sure it's needed there, as that side is closed. That panel on the inside has to go a bit further to the rear, otherwise it won't fit due to the glass. More pics soon I hope! HÃ¥kan
Shawn M Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I used ref pics and a white berol pencil to write that detail on. i wouldn't bother putting them on the "fixed side"...who's gonna grab there or read it? Azgaron 1

My thought too, so I'm skipping that side. Nice progress, HÃ¥kan! Kev Thanks Kev! HÃ¥kan
Azgaron Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 First decals in place! Actually first time I think I won't bother with visible decal film as the real ones seems to look that way. Getting the canopy in place seems a bit fiddly. First problem is the panel I've mentioned, that needs to sit quite a bit further back compared to the instructions and locator tabs, or it will simply get stuck on the middle window. Second it seems like the front window won't close as that thing on the panel hits the window. Might have to sand it down a bit. Was this a problem for you Shawn? HÃ¥kan

HÃ¥kan Yup had the same issue with the fuse panel. It was only on early Apaches (which this kit depicts) so you're stuck with it. I can try (no promises) to get a pic of mine if you want? also dont forget to drill out the tailrotor housing intake! Edited March 14, 2016 by Shawn M
Azgaron Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks Shawn! Yeah, a pic might be useful. Yeah, I saw that you've done that. On pics I've seen it have a protective net. Gonna see if I can work something out. HÃ¥kan
Azgaron Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Quick update. The targeting stuff in the front. I'm pretty happy with it. HÃ¥kan Uncarina 1
