Title: Chinese Z10 helicopter - Hobby Boss
Post by: chriswil42 on October 20, 2020, 04:10:51 PM
Just about to begin this one. I've probably had it a few years. The mouldings are crisp and clean (definitely first run ) so this should be a straight forward build.

Are you going to build the other attack helicopters to show the comparison?

I don't have a Rooivalk yet but I do have the others.
After a bit of searching I've found a source for the Rooivalk. The bank balance will take a hit.

Is this a real helicopter??   Looks like a Comanche to me.

Yes it is real and it does look like a Comanche ( which was scrapped in 2004 ).

Having Googled them I see you're going to end up with four 'same but different'!!!

Cockpit  done. The instructions did say paint it all black. I decideed to paint the seats a different colour.
Cockpit, gun, rotor assembly in one half of the fuselage.

I think  you have done the right thing in having more than one colour.
Title: Re: Chinese Z10 helicopter - Hobby Boss
Post by: MSea on October 31, 2020, 08:38:04 AM
I agree with Zak even if something is just one colour - with different wear patterns, light effects and different materials used  you always get different shades of the main colour.

This is the first Hobby Boss model I have made. It went togther like a dream so far. Virtually no flash and excellent mouldings and the fitting was perfect.

All their tank kits are really good too, maybe rather too many parts.

I have made a couple of Hobby Boss and found them great models.

I like their 'simple' aircraft kits. Enough to work with without being too complicated, then it's up to you what you do with them.

Hi all,
Hobbyboss kits give good value for money.
Not always 100%, but make modelling interesting.

Here it is complete. It took a bit longer than anticipated for the final touches.
Finished with Mr Hobby paints. It was a nice kit to build - I don't think I used the filler at all.
