Situation Normal all fudged up! Blogger continues to play up and I have switched to Chrome just to post. I will answer comments that all you good people have posted tomorrow when I get a little time. Back to today's posting, the Italeri UH-1B double up has been progression nicely and I have finished them to about 95% of completion.
Trouble started with a missing front windscreen for one of the birds which is bloomin hard to fix so I am not bothering about. The next kick in the pants was the destruction of the decals I was going to use. I had plans to make both of them into Royal Australian Navy Hueys but the Italeri decals simply fell about, I have not seen anything like it, so I had to improvise and gave them a small stars and bars and a simple serial code on the tail plane.
Paint wise I gave them a dirty grey scheme that seems to give them a real worn look which is just fine by me. I still need to finish off some painting on the rotors and add a crewman or two. The end is in sight anyway.
Decals may not be a lost cause
ReplyDeleteI have managed to get replacements sent to me in the past from Airfix. I guess (hope) Italeri would do the same
You can combine grey with every colour: Black, Brown and of course Green! Nice and dirty Paul! :-)
