Military Models.

haha icic. Thanks for sharing.Originally posted by Viper52:In RSAF context, Cougar has more chin blade antennas IIRC. Thats the main external difference I think. Otherwise in Eurocopter context, Cougar is the military model, while Super P is the civilian equivalent. -
lol ,what the diff between both beside the priceOriginally posted by CenturionMBT:Nope. You have to assemble it yourself. I think the screw tyop version is cheaper. You will have to take a look.
Chinook rotor blades look like flat black. Martin can comfirm?
so i leave the rotor aside 1st , then the blade is olive drab hor ? -
some panel details may be different. Most likely flat black.Originally posted by Unidentified:lol ,what the diff between both beside the price

hmm not very sure. Normally i used the bottled type. Well, just make sure your tube is closely capped. Thats the least you can do.Originally posted by Unidentified:i did cap , maybe becoz i put in my room ? (air conditioned)

Wah piang, Hobby Point in Tampines are selling the E-2C at $39.90. Thats bloody expensive if you ask me. I got it at $20+ a few years back from elsewhere...
Unidentified is right, unfortunately from what I see most of Hobby Point's prices are more expensive that the other shops in Singapore. Quite put off sometimes. -

Building the 1/32 Flanker Part 1
Bought the Trumpeter Kit for 140 bucks about 1 month ago. As i was still doing my Tomcat I didn't start on it until now.
Box art
Internal packaging
Fuselage (upper) Look at the size of that thing!!!
Photoetched parts consisting of hinges and stuff. Yes, all the control surfaces are movable for this kit if you happen to be wondering.
Done up the cockpit. It was overall painted Blue grey. I didn't had any blue grey, so i mixed medium blue with black and white. Cockpit detailing done with a small black marker. The red and yellow buttions by a fine brush.
Main landing gears well. -
Building the 1/32 Flanker part 2: Wings
The hinges for the flaps are as shown. It is basicly a small metal rod skewered through a few pieces of photoetched hooks.
The hinges are placed onto the flap. Well this picture is actually showing the front slats. I was too engrossed in making the flaps so i didn't take a picture of it.
This a major headache. 1 hour and a hell lot cursing, bleeding fingers which were at the sametime sealed by super glue, the flap is glued onto the main wing.
The top half of the main wing is glued on. This shows the comparison between an F-15 wing and an SU-27 wing. -
Building the flanker part 3
Left wing and right wing done. They are then glued onto the lower half of the fuselage.
The landing gear wells are glued onto the lower fuselage. All set to glue the top half...or is it? I discovered i forget to do the gun mount.
Ok did the cannon. Didn't know they were using a single barrel gun.
Ok both halves are attached. The beast is taking shape.
Forgot to tell you all about the leading edge slats. Well here are the hinges. Actually one of the hinges broke free at this point of time. I had to work fast otherwise i will lost that hinge forever.
Btw noticed that there is a step between the fuselage and the wing? Well, i will have to sand it down tmr.
Bottom halve of the leading edge slat. ANother few hours of cursing ,swearing ,bleeding and gluing.
Alright the moveable slats are done. Nose cone is glued on, notice there is virtually no gaps on this aircraft. Impressive for a made in China. Reccomend you guys to try Trumpeter. Canopy put on to make it look more photogenic. Well, i have a problem with the canopy. They don't fit well with the fuselage. It is smaller than what it is supposed to be.
anyway, another view from the top. Thats all for tonight.

Blades are not Olive drab.Originally posted by Unidentified:lol ,what the diff between both beside the price
so i leave the rotor aside 1st , then the blade is olive drab hor ?
Try using a toned down flat black for scale effect? I think Gunze has something called Tyre Black which might work for the blades. Flat black straight from the bottle might be too dark.
The ST newspaper publised an overhead shot last year of an RSAF Chinook dropping sand bags into a levy breach in New Orleans. If you're keen to see this picture, I can post it next week once I'm reunited with my work laptop. -
