Bradley25mm Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Tried a new idea for seat fabric. The athletic tape worked great. I super glued the edges just to be safe. I decided to add avionics wiring behind the cockpit hood. I use sewing thread. Put a drop of Elmer's glue between two fingers. Pull the thread thru your fingers. When the glue dries, all the fuzz is gone.The glue also adds some stiffness. All the .50 cal needs is a wash with oils ,then its done. To paint the exhaust pipes, I mixed Testors gold, and silver. Decided to paint all the detail on the tail rotor blades, instead of using the kit decals. Took a while, but I'm glad I choose the paint route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Super looking work, and a great tip on the athletic tape for fabric. Bet that would work for some seat belts too! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Excellent! The seats look great, along with the tail rotor. Keep the updates coming. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley25mm Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Thanks gentlemen. These kits go together great. I’ve got one more Revell Germany kit in my stash. I really look forward to starting it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
