I installed this front part not sure what it is with two electric cable or hydraulic hose .
Maybe someone will let me know
Enjoy

I crewed Rh-53ds in HM-14 1979-1982 and we never had interior insulation because they always leaked hydraulic fluid and we needed to see where it was dripping and it would soak the insulation making a big fire hazard.If it did'nt leak it was out of fluid.
I'm ready to spray some Black primer on this today ..EnjoyRick
I spray some black primer , then put into a heated dry box for couple hours . Now I will let this set for few day to make sure the primer cures good .EnjoyRick
Primer down, that means color soon. Can't wait to see this with its clothes on.

I started the paint process which is a two tone . The main color is down . I need to add second paint color .EnjoyRick
I finished the second color . I thought it was little bright, like it stuck out like a sore thumb . So I took some Light ghost gray, highly thinned. I then sprayed that to tone down the Med. ghost gray .
I believe it looks so much better .
I have the decals installed I spray another very high thin coat of paint to tone down the black . I did started some trim work but not to much . Weather here went very cold to 60 degrees I been outside today . Enjoy Rick
I tried to fix the silvering . Looks better not perfect but betterEnjoyRick
Working on the blade support. The kit only has 2 support braces . I need to make Several braces now .EnjoyRick
Update on the blade support system
This is really coming together. It looks super nice.
Little more update on my Blade support system .EnjoyRick
I finished the rotor blade support system
This is really a fantastic build to watch come to life. I love the work you've done here.
I been working on the rear folded area . Not sure what thats call or proper name . I installed the fold tail . I added some hydraulic lines .. Enjoy Rick
I remember refering to those bulkheads as the tail disconnect. I use to work on these beasts, so let me tell you, you're doing an increadible job depicting one.
Looks really nice! I bought one of these kits recently because we would fly in them when they were carrying our M198 howitzers.
I know this is an old thread, but any updates? I would love to see the finished product.
I just finished this Bird about Month ago . This has been on/off build for so long . I forgot about the thread .
Here is some finished photos . I need better finish photos
