Mr B

looks nice.

did you use sprue for the crew's radio wires?

Nice WIP, can you have some shots with your cockpit, hope to refer yours. Thanks.
Keep updated pictures coming. :lol:

Mr. B:

Did you think these 3 figures can be applied to my Black Hawk as a Crew and Gunner?

Thanks for the comments guys

Aidy - The crew wires are strands of copper wire rapped around a toothpick for the coil effect

Wuichong - Will try and post a few more pics of the panels ...and stuff.......and not too sure figures oob can be used or not....their armor plate and helmets might be diffrent....there is a link on FSM see if this helps u out ....

mr b - Nice.... :D

Also nice touch with the belts and different skin tones.

Was there a chest armor stencil in the kit? I don't remember it...

Keep 'em coming!

Poohbear - Thanks for the kind words.....don't really know if a african amecrian was part of the outfit ....but wanted something diffrent B)

Yes stencils are included for the figures which also includes their sqn patch....(nice touch) I would say ........:)

Good looking cockpit Mr B. Sure would appreciate some close-ups of the instrument panels.

You guys are tempting to start my Huey. Alamak! :( On sesond thoughts, maybe my Chinook.

Yes, pics of the IP please!!

Since you added the communications wire plug, any chance of adding the mouthpiece mike to the figures?

@ Argrillion - just multitask and do both the Huey & Chinook... :P

Just noticed the dedicated huey forum!

By the way, there are two huey threads left on the bottom of the WIP aircraft forum. Maybe the mods could bring them over?

What a pleasing suprise..................got worried for a minute when my thread could not be seen.......tought I did something wrong and got it pulled.......! :)

Arg- Since you put us into a different g/b session ....I think the huey of yours needs to hit the bench........if its 1/35 all the better........the chinook can wait ....:)

Poohbear & Arg- Yep the IP will follow when there is some decent light

Poohbear- The mics are a welcome idea......will look at that .....to be added........

Updates will follow......too tired to do anything today ........:(

Mr B,
We need pictures here...Not words! Hahahahaaa...... :lol:
Keep em' coming then!!

Updated 23/10/06- Brutus not words only this time :)

Got the cockpit finished minus mic for the door gunner (need to put that on) thanks for the suggestion poohbear.....put in the bench seat as I think the version I want to do has mini guns........and it looks much better with the seats in the rear <_<

Started and completed the engine and bay........cut out the plastic mesh/netting on the engine cover and fusalge.....to sub it with kelambu?

If all goes well can put the fuslages together..........

Hope you guys like......

MR. B, Very nice WIP, I admire your panel and the engine, your posts guide me a lot on the painting part. Thanks

I will post mine later. Thanks

Hi Folks

Wui chong - thanks for the nice words....looking forward to your frog.....

Updated

Almost done ....still around 3% left to call it finish .........just a pic before it went to paint shop ....and one in its current state.........hope to put it to bed this weekend.....:) and then on to my scooter........

mr b

You're most welcome to the suggestion mr b. Glad to help your built out.

It's looking nice and the weathering looks good too. Mine looks like it just came from the laundry comparing.. :lol:

What did you use for the mesh covers?

Poohbear- Thanks for the nice words....too me a vietnam huey must be dirty ....and used....:) but sometimes when you think of it a laundry "effect" might go down well as well.........:)

as for the mesh .....used netting from a strainer ....cut out to shape n glued in place.....(if you are meaning the engine mesh on the sides) if you are refering to the engine inlet screens they are OOB dry brushed with silver n washed with burnt sienna mix

more pics over the weekend

mr b

Strainer...never thought of that... <_<

Look forward to more pics. B)

B.. Looking real good.. more photos please... :D

This is looking real good Mr. B. The used and abused paintwork is really spot on. :D

thanks master and g-man

much obliged .....

poohbear - u can also get the small mesh green colour used to be like mosquito netting....that will do the trick in 1/35 as well........my local hardware did not have that fine mesh so opted for a strainer.....:)

mr b

thanks for the tip mr b.

Will check it out.

I can't see your pics - have they been moved?
