INCREDULOUSLY SUPER Work done on it. I always say the Engine is MY favorite part and yours is TOP NOTCH.(yours is Hot) it ROCKS ! Thanks everyone, definitely appreciate it. More progress over the weekend. The engine cowling and flaps are done and painted. In the picture, then engine module is just stuck on, not glued in place yet so a slight gap at the top. I've also painted the white sealing tape stripes on the wings, as well as the walkways on the upper wings using Maketar's masks and Tamiya tape. I'm hoping to get a clear coat laid down in the next few days, then move onto the HGW wet transfers (lots of those!). Hoping...…. Comments, critiques, suggestions...….lay it on me. Thanks for looking. That's a big nose..... Bye bye engine work! TAG, Starfighter, chukw and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hey Brett! looks fantastic! Really love the engine details- you can practically smell the hot oil from the photos! Thanks for the lead wire tip as well! That will be the perfect material for some some wires and cables I need to run for the HH-60. Good stuff! cheers Pete Brett M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, let's say we both thank LSP for that lead tip She's now sitting with a coat of X-22. Give it a day or two before I think about touching it, then onto decals.

Brett M Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 So, first thoughts on the HGW wet transfers. MAKE SURE YOU BEND AN EDGE OF THE CARRIER FILM UP. Otherwise, good luck getting an edge to catch and peel up the film once it's dry. There are 1-2 that I couldn't grab an edge on, thankfully very small and I can blend them in. The carrier film is nice and thin at least? More work than a regular decal to ensure that the film stays up till it's dry enough.....then walk away, walk away! The transfers I added last night, need to see what else I can do to remove the adhesive. The film came off well this morning, but I can see exactly where the adhesive was. Any suggestions? Montex Reluctant Dragon decal.....went on perfectly and sucked into the rivets and fasteners with just Micro Set. One bubble in the film, stabbed with the #11 and some Micro Sol took care of it. This is all for now, just a quick snap from the Nikon. Now it's back to remodeling a bathroom for most of the day! You can see the carrier film sticking up in the air on some of the transfers.....gotta have that edge! D.B.
