Title: Italian EH101
Post by: chriswil42 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.

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?
