SPA Modeler

You are making some good progress!

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!

I lost the scratch upper consolle so i did another and painted (it's just a plasticard square painrted )




And placed



Glued upper canopy and cockpit block



Horizontal surfaces aligned




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.

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

Updates

Glued canopy and detailed the web intake on the rotor basement





More pieces on



Added details to the main rotor, not yet finished







Tail rotor detailed and replaced the kit cap in the tail light position



Gear on ,handles and hinges to the doors



Drilled and glued side exhausts



Testfitting




At the next

fantastic work as always, BSY!

Looks all ready for paint now...

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.
