1/32 BK117 & EC135 update.

Hey Gang,
Here's the latest updates of my long, drawn out, BK-117's and EC-135.
The EC135 finally has the WSP's and external oxygen fabed and mounted and the blue BK, which was my nightmare kit from the warpage and damage, I had to fab the flight step which was from a used 117M kit I picked up for cheap a few years back. You'll notice the box on the tail was removed and filled galore. I actually used liquid nailes adhesive caulk to fill 98% of the void and then used the green Squadron putty for the rest to fine and true things up. Yah, you may notice the rear clamshell windows I was going to cut out. Yes, I chickened out and filled the scribed areas in.
The BK already got a partial prime coat on it. I did that during a warm spell and it droped back off to cold. With things finally warming up, hopefully within the next week or two, I'll be able to apply the primer and paint to both. These are going to be the easiest paint jobs because they are primarely all metalic dark green which will represent Med Flight of Ohio 3 & 5.
A little note about my 1/72 S-76. I offically converted it from a A+ to a C. It has a white coat at the moment and is ready for the mask of blue. I'll try and post some pics this coming week outside when it warms up. The pics I did take, the flashed flooded everything because of the white.
I'm also working on some EMS conversions for the current 1/48 scale Astar (Left) and Bell 222 (Right) (I hope will reissue). The Astar has upright and folded crew seats, stretcher, planket, and misc. bags and pouches for mounting on the rear bulkhead and behind the pilot seat. The pictures are not all that great. But it's enough to give you an idea. I also just finished some 1/32 EMS accessories (not shown) for the BK-117, BO-105, EC-135 and EC-145 which include pouches, bags, blanket, pillow and heart monitor. All parts are cast resin. Not highly detailed. Everything is pretty basic. The parts will require sanding and some very minor putty filling.
I posted pics above as hopefully you can see. If not, here's the link to my photo album. Everything new is at the bottom. Enjoy.

Hope all is well with everyone.
Cheers,
John
