Thanks. It looks ugly now, but should improve with primer.

So, while waiting for decals for my Sea King to turn up, I thought I'd try my hand at scratch building a T50 turret in 1/16 for a future build of 'my' M113 in East Timor in 1999. Luckily a mate works at the Australian War Memorial. He arranged access to the M113A1 in storage for a reference run. It's a small turret, but a relatively complicated assembly of flat plates. The turret race spacer ring (my terminology, may not be prototypical): And some rough work on the mantlet, with the Aber .50 & .30 cal MG barrels. Thanks for looking.

Crazy.

Well, a little more progress on the HAR.3 -> HU.5. Added the lumps, bumps, randome, filled the inappropriate widows, bulged the appropriate ones & got the fuselage (hull?) together. Here it is alongside my slightly-damaged-by-thinner-spillage SH-3H conversion.

And all is now right with the world.

Waiting for fire never is a nice feeling... The floor chipping was pretty simple to do - base coat, followed by Mr Hobby MR.MASKING SOL NEO applied via dabbing a torn-off bit of sponge into it, applying it more heavily in high traffic areas. This was followed by the top coat. Once the top coat was dry, I rubbed my fingertip over the dried masking fluid, chipping the top coat. HTH.

Yeah, baffles me a bit, too. Never been in a Sea King: experience limited to the normal UH-1, H-60, Mi-17....& the Mi-26! This'll be a SAR bird, so unarmed. Thanks for commenting.

I've got a start on my first Airfix Westland Sea King - a HU.5. This the new tool Airfix 1/72 kit & will accompany my converted SH-3H and, in turn, will be joined by a HAR.3. The interior was converted... And painted. Floor chipped with Neo mask. Quite a bit different to the OOB HAR.3, I think you'll agree: Should get the fuselage together this week. All comments welcome.

Seconded.

Just received my GERWALK -1A & -1S kits. Very impressive.

Where'd the VF-1 come from? -
Yep ten points & three thumbs up on your Max. Perfect!
-
That Max -1A looks fantastic! Love the Wave 1/100 kits.
-
Looks like a DYRL? cockpit. Still, easy to modify into a SDFL instrument panel, at least.
-
You're meant to build them?!
-
Probably wouldn't discourage me...
-
Hmmm. That nose cross-section...
-
I can see myself buying quite a few CF. Wonder when the Gimix 1/144 Q-Rau, Glaug, & Regult are coming?
-
Seconded.
-
Just need a 1/700 GPB-1 marked up as Hikaru's.
-
1/100? Edit: probably should've read the topic title.
-
If you look how tightly the linkless system is bound around the drum in the A-10, maybe there's enough room in the GU-11?
-
Thanks!
-
Any more information on that half fighter/half GERWALK mode VF-1EX?
-
I'm not seeing anything I don't like with these.
