Pete Fleischmann Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hey all- been farting around with this new project. The Kitty Hawk MH-6M Little Bird. What pushed me over the edge were the outstanding figures that Yaroslav at Live Resin created for this kit. Six figures total; 2 stick actuators and four SF riders. but more than anything, it was this particular figure right here. I love this pose..Holding on to the fast rope cage and outrigger platform- perfect for an inflight display so I’ll use all six figures for this one- first things first- I needed to open up the crew compartment door area- Here you can see the modification to the right side (top)..both sides get wider openings- more to follow! cheers Pete Dope737, A-10LOADER, Out2gtcha and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Started with the two pilots. assembly- gaps filled with either JB Weld or Apoxie Sculpt Then a shot of Tamiya deck Tan then a dry brush of a lighter version of deck tan More multicam camo. First the light green. Also, I find it easier to paint the black cable on top of the helmet first, and then come in right next to it with the overall helmet color- much easier than trying to pick out a skinny cable with a small brush after the helmet is painted- then dry brush the light green more to follow- Edited April 11, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann Derek B, scvrobeson, Supersonic and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Hello all- all of this so far with Vallejo colors- the seat harness in black and then dry brushed. I use a small chisel tip brush to accurately (as possible) do the dry brush steps- The helmet visors start out black, then get a coat of Tamiya clear green, and then a few coats of Future Here you can see the slight difference between the figure on the right which has received an overall wash/filter, and the one on the left which has not- thanks for checking in! cheers Pete Edited April 11, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann LSP_Kevin, Paul in Napier, Out2gtcha and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
