Hi Chavdar,

 

Very good work on the Jet Ranger.

Actually, the kit depicts the very first production version from the Sixties, hence the small instrument panel, streamlined skids, etc.

I started the kit 9 years ago, but it is on the SOD now, because the Revell colour scheme version demands 4 bulged side windows.

An I still have to make plunge moulde for them...

Anyway, I made a simple nose correction in my thread here om LSP. Maybe it helps you:

Keep up the good work!

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Fantastic build so far ! I am always pleased when I see someone building

Helos , especially the uncommon types .

Yes , the wrong shaped nose and the non bulged ( and tinted ) windows are a problem .

But unfortunately also the whole belly , which is (seen from front) V-shaped on the model .

The real thing has a flat underside . I noticed that when I extended my Jet Ranger into a

Long Ranger . But I see you are on a good way man !

Greetings

Stefan

Yes Stefan, you're right for the flat belly :)

There is so much work to do the accurate shape from this kit :)

Small update for today - scratch the "front" lights under the front part of the dash board and correct the rear seats with some tamiya tape:

Also made the dash-board decals:
