Well, I walked away from this scheme a little over a month ago.
Picking away at this one a little more.

This particular scheme, the nose, a real PITA getting things aligned and into proportion.

More work on the engine shroud. Wrapping the peeled effect over the top.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful OleBoy. Looking forward to this one for sure.

That is absolutely one of the best paints I've seen put on a helo......never cared much for the AS350, but with paints like yours and jeansy, giving me second thoughts.

That is one very good reason to buy the AS350, a fantastic paint job OleBoy

.

Thank you for your hard work.

Regards
Bruce.

Thanks my friends. I'll keep plugging away at it. And hopefully finish it.

The only thing about this repaint I don't like, is that the paint is physically falling off this bird. Why is it so much work? LOL!

I don't see any zinc primer, maybe that's why the paint is peeling off!

I managed to get the top laid out. My eyes are tired. Now off to bed for me.

Thanks Kevin.

I've painted a lot of models for flightsim, although helicopters I always avoided. In most cases, they're mapping nightmares. This particular model represents some great visuals. Especially in DX10.

looks pretty cool !

The bottom of this bird is paint peeled to beat heck.

From my screen shots the repaint looks like it could be done. I still have a lot of work to do (sigh)

The right side, bottom just completed.
