Stealth Hawk

Scale: 
1/144
Company: 
Dragon
Built by: 
Razor

Here it is, my OOB built Stealth Helicopter from Dragon:


The only extra work I added was bending the main rotor blades a bit and creased the blade tips down. Other than this two points it is straight out of the box.
Bringing the front window and the PE-parts in place was not too easy, but I am happy they are finally where they have to be.


I applied a preshading to avoid a too boring look of the smooth surface of the fuselage, then a layer Gunship Grey from Revell was added. After a gloss clear
coat the decals were put up and a decent black washing with watercolors was applied. Then came a sealing matte clear coat to finish the model.


Other than written on the box, you can't turn the rear rotor - you have to glue it in place.
Especially in this small scale I have problems with demasking the windows without frazzeling the paint around.


But whatever - now you can see how Dragons interpretation of the "Geronimo" Blackhawk comes out if you decide to build it out of the box.

Nieuwegein

There is a big modeling-meeting (IPMS Netherland) in Nieuwegein (Netherland) on saturday (22 oktober 2011). If I find this kit, it's mine. Even though it's ugly looking, it has something... In front it just looks like the RAH-66 Comanche. Thanks for sharing it with us.
