Italian EH101
« on: June 21, 2020, 01:54:16 PM »
My latest finished helicopter. The Italeri 1/72nd Italian EH101 built straight out of the box. The kit has the option for a folder tail and rotors. If you don't want to do that option it was a bit tricky to do it not folded and get the tail straight.
Finished with mr color paints and then varnished.

Neat.
We need to compare notes on Mr Colour paints sometime.

What to say? I find them very good for airbrushing. I usually need two coats to get the coverage, but that could just be my painting. I have found slight differences in shade between the mr color paints and the aqueous hobby colour paints.
Marbe we should start another thread?
