Re: 1/72 Trumpy CH-47D WIP
Thanks dudes!
Added some detail to the rear section of the cabin...with some "artistic license"...
Tamiya tape and brass rod for the seats...
Painted and in place...
I used this pic for inspiration...
I used some cardboard (what looks more like cardboard...than cardboard?!!!) from an old Eduard kit box...folded and used a fine razor saw to cut in the individual boxes. Scratched the pallets with cut strips of thin plastic...
Also had to scratch the crew chiefs jump seat...
Closed up and finished up the detail for the ramp area...
All these details are loosely based on actual events....but not a true story!!!

I just have to say in a total non-technical way but straight from the heart... your work is awesome. What a treat, Fermis. What a treat and an inspiration and just what a great piece of scratch building.
Make more models!

Wow. The detail you pack into Braille scale is amazing.

A bit more work on this one.
I ordered the "dust bin" intake filters through Shapeways. I like em...they're a bit rough, due to the process, but look the part. There is a part of some sort, that comes out of the bottom/front of the center pylon and into the filters. The kit intakes had this molded to them....the a/m filters had a slot, to accommodate said item. I cut and carved the part from the kit parts...
On to the paint booth.
Black and white to start with...
Then I went with a lightened (with OD) US Helo Drab overall...fairly thin, allowing the blotchiness of the blk/wht to show through. Then hit some areas with straight Helo Drab...then some more areas with a little grey mixed in. It will get some more colors after the decals go on...gotta weather them too!

Re: 1/72 Trumpy CH-47D WIP
Shaping up nicely there Fermis. Hello Drab weathers a LOT. Not so much to brown like some ODs, but it goes grayish when it lightens.
