Huey in Tiger Stripes

This is what I did tonight to keep myself occupied and amused.

Panda 1:35 UH-1N

The most time consuming part was cutting the wisps out of masking tape. Base color...dark gray...Futured....applied wisps maskings....painted light gray and white on belly. Removed wisps and Futured again. Total painting and masking time...about three hours.

Its not the workbench that makes the model, it is the modeler at the workbench.

Cool.  Is this a what if or a real bird?

It's real in my mind. Wink [;)]

Just some fun...helps practice painting techniques.

Looking at your cutting mat, I take it you shot the darker color first?  More pics please.
