It looks like a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica.

Yes, there is a likeness. This one looks like a Colonial Viper which has had its wings clipped.
Looking purposeful

Looks evil!
Title: Re: Kamov Ka-50SH
Post by: cph64 on May 21, 2023, 04:26:26 PM
It almost looks like it could fly without the rotor blades.

Nice work Chris but as an aircraft it's one that only its mother could love I feel.

Second coat of second colour on. Shades of brown.
Title: Re: Kamov Ka-50SH
Post by: chriswil42 on July 12, 2023, 02:41:04 PM
Three shades of brown - for a change.
Title: Re: Kamov Ka-50SH
Post by: chriswil42 on July 17, 2023, 12:55:05 PM
Three shades of brown didn't look right. So I replaced the darkest brown with a dark grey which now looks closer to the photographs I have of the beast.

If looks right it is right!

Hi Chris,
Yes, TLAR all the time. (That looks about right)
Nice work.

Decals on. Just a coat of varnish to go.

Another great addition to the fleet.

Chris, That's a stunning paint job on what to my mind is an ugly helicopter. Masking must have been a challenge.

Thanks Francis. The two browns were airbrushed, then I gave up and hand painted the grey.

I often end up doing some hand painting, still looks good though.

Ditto. Well done Chris.

Here it is finished.

It is another great model Chris - it looks an evil looking machine, but the double height rotors always look strange to me
