mozart Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 In theory over all black should be the easiest finish to achieve, but of course it isn't!! You're doing a fabulous job David, so looking forward to seeing this one finished. Dukie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 After almost getting cross-eyed doing the stencils, they are done. I need to add a coat of future to protect them from future weathering. Very high quality stencils from Werner's wings, very thin, they are all legible, react great to Microsol and Microset solutions. Some pics, sorry for the dust and cotton residue, will be cleaned before future.

Dukie99 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 And it is done! This thing is absolutely huge. Luckily it fits in my display cabinet and looks great among my other 1/35 helicopter (Mi-24P, Mi-8, Israeli Frelon and MH-6. I am really happy to be done, there were many times where I thought I would not pull it out but the kind words and encouragement from all of you guys kept me on track. The main problem of this bird is that it's very difficult to photograph because it's so huge. I will try to post pictures under natural light over the week-end but for now I will have to do with these: and together with its little brother MH-6 Cheers, David The Madhatter, Out2gtcha, KiwiZac and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukie99 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thank you Shawn and Gazzas for the kind words. I am eagerly waiting for the KH Blackhawk to complete my Nightstalkers stable. Not sure I will put a crew in it though, it is a lot of effort for a result which I find a bit underwhelming. On to the Desert GB. cheers, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Love LOVE it! That is really excellent..............and the pic w/the little bird is quite telling on size too. Really great job seeing this one to the finish David, especially with all the nose/window issues you had! Dukie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madhatter Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) One of the best CH-47's I think I have seen to date - great stuff!
