Introducind the Italeri Cougar, Swiss use i'll do
I take pictutes of complete sprues but i lost them :(
So heres actual pieces on sprues, most unused for this version
Who gave me this kit was Italeri collaborator and fit the kit with almost all decals that italeri produced for super puma/cougar boxes
But withouth instructions
and worong boxart...
So.. heres works done till now:
Tail rotor with black first layer ( replaced original control rods with stretched sprue)
Almost same work on the main rotor, replaced original "pistons" with adeguate diameter plastic rods
Fuselages with inner (presumed) color and windows glued
Inner cockpit/cargo zone painted and the engines block.I added engines shafts throught engines and rear exhaust (probably Apu unit) .
Seats and control stiks
IP painted (probably is not correct, cougars seems have digital instruments with few "clocks")
Glued ip and cockpit pieces and added simply mask tape belts painted
And fixed in the fuselage
fuselages second glue step with adequate clamp
Glazed nose in place
The kit don't have upper consolles, so i made one
Then front engine and ceiling
Side sponsors and other external pieces glued , lots of pieces to glue again :(
Then the BO-105 tha takin advantage of field green mixed of the Hind A, not the same, the hind was lighteen (notice the two colors in the trays on the right )
And KP hound updates
Modified front gears with some refine cut and added reinforces
Main gear on with added force pins, the kit have only some weak sign were pieces are to glue. Also little cannon and bottom goondola- Also the cockpit on.
Painted cannon and glued in place with the gondola
Front gears added , main wheels not glued
Glued strenght rods to the front gears , pilot ladder and others
Tail bumper on
That's alla for now about my rotors
in this case just a little percentage of blue to give an azure touch of the color, in other case adding black or white yo darken or lighteen the color. The advantage is the better grip of the color
