Thanks the little german is waiting for primer, windows was already polished.
..meanwhile.. another rotor, a freezed work by few years came into the kitchen table
As the old italeri tool can't be compared to the new zvezda hind family (detail level, precision and accuracy of reproduction) i decided to build it fast oob and takin advantage of some same color used on both versions
So , about two or three sessions and the italeri was inner painted and closed
a quick comparation between the two kits
Latest session
Putty and sanding to come
Asap i'll put probably another two helos
At the next

Re: BsYamato's rotors
Heres busy bunker table yesterday, primer day on few kits (included an italeri hudson not in picture)
Also intuducing two more helos:
Mil mi-4 KP, not an actual start but a freezed work of two months ago, i think
aftermarket additional decals
A good weight in the nose
Strange but correct inners for the KP hound
testfitting
primer and inner color, also glued windows
IP from the box, better and more correct than the hobby boss one
glued fuselage
Rotor, not yet finished (blades are already weighted from factory)
now actual works done last night:
Glued more pieces about the fuselage
Modified main rotor blades shafts with stretched sprue
Last pieces on the main rotor and the spoiler of the fourth mysterious helo for the GB
At the next

Re: BsYamato's rotors
That is looking real good BSY. What color are you using for the interior gray?

Re: BsYamato's rotors
Lately i'm mixing the vallejo grey primer with needed colors for inners 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 colorStikpusher wrote:That is looking real good BSY. What color are you using for the interior gray?

Re: BsYamato's rotors
Now that makes perfect sense. Especially since there seems to be a good bit of variation in Soviet Interior Grays in photos.

Re: BsYamato's rotors
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
