AH-1W / AH-1T WIP

DAY 2:

I painted the IP cover stuck on the dial's and the cover and a bit of dry brushing as well. As you can see my skills are not that good. But with practice I hope to produce some beauties in the future.

Whilst I was waiting to things to dry I moved over to the OOB bird here is a pic with the pit in the dry fit stage after some initial paint.

Thanks for looking and advice tips errors etc please feel free to comment.

Also I am looking for pics of the interior side walls and the canopy. There are some PE bits for these areas but they seem a bit sparse and with a large clear canopy to look through I would like to try and scratch builds some things to busy up the area.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks for looking, comments welcome

Coming along nicely. I did the same two, at the same time a few months ago. Them pits are screaming for some detail!!!!

Thanks Fermis, I have actually been looking at your thread and using it for ref's. 

I know I said the T would be OOB but when the pit is next to the W, I cant help but scratch some detail. 

I will be posting a few update pics in a couple of days.

 Almost forgot, here's another great ref. for just about everything!!!

Been slow going with all the PE and moving house again! third time in 18 months!

anyway here are a few pics

Whiskeys pit glued in place. Had to scratch the pipe thingy that attaches to the seat

Some goodies put on the canopy interior. This was really time consuming as I first masked off the interior, sprayed the interior colour let that dry then "Futured" let that cure then remove masking and then only glue PE pieces in place.

Started on the stub wings by filling the holes and cutting the and build the rocket pod pylons

Then added wiring and stand for the flare dispenser

Got the canopy in without any trouble and only a minor tiny gap on this side of the photo and started and some more of the PE

Thanks for looking
