Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Thanks Chris and Charlie! It took me a while but it seems I'm on the right track now. Hey Andy, thank you! Weather... what? It's going to be a brand new helo out of production line! Just kidding, in my mind it'll get a little dust and sand and some chipping and scratches around the cabin door. We'll see how it turns out Klaus Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Hello Avus. Great job you have done so far. Keep up. Question: how did you apply the mask on the transparent details? How is the mask applied afterall? Only with tape accurately cutting it so it fits the necessary places? I saw on your pics some bottle MASKOL. What is it?

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Thanks Amateur)! For the first time I used one of Eduard's masking sets. Basically it's pre-cut masking tape which supposedly fits the model; I'm saying supposedly because it isn't 100% accurate. The standard technique is the one you suggest:precision cut tape. Maskol is a masking fluid. It's a liquid that turns to a rubber once dry. You aply it to the area to be covered , but I never managed to get straight edges with it. Almost every paint manufactuer has it's own masking fluid. Maskol is the one produced by Humbrol. For bigger areas such as wins shields you could use a combination of tape and masking fluid. You put the tape along the edges and fill the rest wth masking fluid.

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Thanks Steve, glad you like my progress! I still have to pass with the airbrush: (real) life gets in the way. Currently I'm in the phase where I'm about to put that darn thing on a shelf and start something new just to clear my head ... BUT ... I must not give in tho the dark side!

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	WOW! Very nicely done, very clean work- looks nice with the masking all gone as well. Don't worry about the pace, it's faster moving than my own -Chris

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Klaus, very nice indeed. It looks very good in its final form and its nice to see all the masks off. This is the stage that I like the model at, you can see the end in sight and there are many possibilities you can go with from here. keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing this one done.

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Thanks for your comments and support, Steve and Mel! Actually the masks (cut foam piece) will go back on as I have to coat it with matt varnish once the decaling and weathering is done. The main rotor will be the last thing to go on this bird, only once I have the figures, the base and the display ready. Klaus Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting

Re: W.I.P.: 1/35 Pave Hawk

	Today's another milestone for my build: I've finished painting the body! The last steps were: 1. Decalling: 2. Weathering: 3. Dull coating: Now I "only" have to add the details: wheels, "disco-ball", wheels, antennae etc. Klaus Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting
