Hello folks, here are the 99% pics of my recently completed Kamov. I've since seen some walkarounds, there a few spots that could have some red markings added, access panels etc. Very small but I'd like to add them if I can. As usual, questions/comments/suggestions are always welcome.
All hand-painted, interior with a variety of Humbrol enamels, fuselage colour is Model Master Russian Underside Blue, rotor blades Vallejo Natural steel over a flat black primer.
ANYWAY, I present you, my 2nd ever HELO:
Annnnnd, as much as I like the odd markings, and Yugoslav Navy would certainly count, I was NOT using the kit decals in this case:
It's not like they were any more colourful than the Soviet markings I went with.
I picked this one up at the second-hand stash (with a $6 price tag, but I know I got a "regulars" discount) simply because it was odd-looking. But now that I see it done up in the scruffy overall gray, it's grown on me. Especially that "front quarter view". There is a lot going on there.
Doing it again, I'd.... dull down the cockpit seats. (I saw references that bright green, but it's just a little too much) Probably leave the cargo door open. Shave off the molded-on wiper blades & polish out that spot. MAYBE a yellow or orange FOD plug for the rear?
