Main Rotar

Today I assembled the three rotor pieces together. The tricky part was to find a way to allow the glue to dry while keeping the rotor blades horizontal. I know many modelers bend the rotor blades but I plan to display the helicopter in flight so I do not feel the need to do so...

Tail & Litters

Well after a long break I returned to complete this kit. After reviewing the progress I had made I decided the next best step was to paint the tail area yellow section and add the tail rotor drive shaft. I then proceeded to paint the litters (stretchers) and was not happy with the results as you could see large brush strokes. I decided to strip the paint and start over and my second attempt was much better. Finally, I freehand painted the litter canopies with no masks.
