Hi All,
A bit more on this. I have now touched in the instrument shroud and some small patches under the cockpit floor. The rear tail fan has been painted and installed. Now ready to get the decals applied and looking like the subject.
Thanks for looking.
I hope my next is always better

Hi All,
Well the decals have been applied to the fuselage sides and undersides, and its beginning to look better. I still have a few for the main rotor, but will apply these once the rotor has been painted and 'kleered'.
On the fuselage, as expected the black window surrounds were a bit challenging, not quite fitting. On my first side I had to cut the decal in three places whilst in situ to get a near fit. On the other I pre-sliced the decal and got on much better. I anticipated some slight touching in of the windows and will do this with Matt Black paint once everything has dried decal wise.
The ADAC letters were cut into individual letters and applied separately to lessen the amount of carrier film and possible silvering. Only a couple of places were noted, being pricked with a sharp needle and more decal softner applied.
The undersides were quite straightforward and went on without issue.
Some pictures of the above, thanks for looking:-
I hope my next is always better

Thanks Chris,
Hopefully by the end of today it will be. Need to touch in the black and then get the canopies attached. It might make it to the club meeting if I can finish it in time.
I hope my next is always better

Hi All,
Project now finished and made it to the club night. These are a few pictures of the completed EC-135 in the markings of ADAC, Winterberg Krankenhaus, Saarbrucken, August 2001 . A nice project from start to finish, and one that gets the thumbs up from the wife ( It's not camouflaged) and colourful.
Thanks for looking.
I hope my next is always better
