Re: BsYamato's rotors
You are making some good progress!
Re: BsYamato's rotors
Thanks Borg
Updates about windows, glued with CA glue from the inner and sanded with file and sanding paper , now the windows have the same thickness of fuselage. More fine sanding to improve clearness i will do before paint
Last night works:
Washing and closed fuselage. Doors engraved by me
Painted as usual the instruments
Added seat belts and seats
Final touch with aluminium foil upper IP screen
Test with cockpit inserted
Just for fun actual hobby boss helos in the stash
At the next!

That trick with the windows sounds risky but I think it will turn out fine. Some unsolicited advice: 4-way nail files can polish and buff it back to a shine. The last bit can be done with Tamiya compound or even whitening toothpaste.
Re: BsYamato's rotors
Thanks Borg, i'll get the nails files soon, also whitening paste already in the house just waiting some step before to polish the windows .
Ps the clear parts was protected by future (yes I get a little bottle) clear varnish

Good to follow your progress on this one! Interesting to see how you pick and choose what to detail and why—interesting and inspiring. Good luck with your "at the next!"

Superb build of a rather natty kit BSY - Great work. I'm really impressed with the extra effort you've put into the cockpit and the clear parts.
