I made a template with wide masking tape- I burnished it down over the floor so that the tie downs showed thru..then I cut away the tie down sections from the tape, then peeled the tape up and had a template to make the armor plates

 

let me know if that doesn’t make sense!

 

cheers

Pete that makes complete sense and better than anything I had come up with. I would have really screwed it up. ;)

 

Thanks for answering my questions!

Tell us how you modified those struts?

Hi Tim-

just measured the kit strut top half, recreated them in brass tube- and then added a longer telescoping lower section that mates up with the gear legs pushed down to their unweighted extension.

I used the oleo strut attachment points from the kit and simply added them to either end of both brass sections.

not too hard-

 

cheers

Pig,

 

If it's not too late looks like you may want to add some damage to the roof of the helo.  After the DShKM 12.7mm round cleaned that dude's grape, the round would prolly damage the roof too.  See image to clarify what I mean...
