Started this at the playday yesterday. I think there is quite a bit of work involved here.
-
Cockpit done with new brass consoles.
Main fuselage halves modified ready to accept the larger sponsons and the new window strips from the conversion kit.
There's quite a bit of glazing to be done - 28 windows - should be fun.
-
Looks good Chris.
All that glazing will keep you busy.
Cheers,
Kevin
-
That's a serious amount of modifying, good luck.
-
The new window strips fully glazed (29) after first painting the insides of the winows white. A bit of cleaning up to do now.
-
Good and detailed Chris
-
Lots of glazing!
-
This one is 'clearly' going to be an impressive model........(Sorry, couldn't resist)
-
Fuselage modifications done. Some filling and clean-up to be done.
It has gone together better than expected so far.
-
Looking good
-
That is some nice work.
Will look good.

Fuselage test fit.
-
All seems to be lining up nicely.

-
Fuselage now together with nose.
-
I like the idea of clear section noses as it makes the windows integral and they don't appear as an after thought.
-
A lot easier to assemble and paint methinks........
Kevin
-
It?s coming along nicely.

Masking will be a pig.
-
Rotor blades prepared. Top one is from the kit; bottom the one for the conversion.
-
Undercarriage on. The air con unit behind the cockpit had to be sanded down quite a bit. The original part looked way too large looking at the photographs.
-
Looks like it's coming together nicely. Paint shop soon?

Yep!
-
First coat of primer on. It has shown up afew areas to be filled. Do that before its next coat.
Hopefully a couple of coats of white over the primer should be enough to make it white.
-
That is going to look a cool machine when its fully dressed.
Nice work.
Kevin
-
After a third coat of primer I think I have just about got rid of the green plastic colour. Some filling to do now.
-
Was going to say 'Looks all White to Me'
Seriously though, sometimes the colour of the plastic used gives a lot of work on certain schemes especially civil aircraft and helicopters.
The finish line just got a lot closer Chris.
Kevin
-
Thanks Kevin.
-
Would white over grey primer have helped?
-
I think it would still be a few coats. One with at least two coats of topcoat now.
-
Looks white ish to me.
Bob c
-
Looks OK to me - but what do I know hohohoho

It's agood job you can't see too much detail on the photo.
