Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőHi Bart
🙂 It was a coincident that I saw that Picture at FlightZone - that camo was the only reason why I finaly decided to start that kit. It was on the shelf for ages.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőUntil I wait for some paint I have on order, I will put the project on hold - and do some experiments with the digital camo. There a no decals or stencils for that livery, so I have to find my own way,....

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző@all - thx for the comments,...Dave, Tim - I am not sure yet, but I will to some trials with decals for sure.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőTim - you are right, this is a nice little kit. And you did a nice build.
I did not really find the kit respectively the helicopter itself very interessing until I stumbbled over the pictures from Kruger National Park - Gazelle seems to be a hidden beauty.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőHi Laurent - thx for your advice, but it is already too late. 🙁
I closed the canopy yesterday and attached the skits for a trial,....a tailsitter - omg, a stupid mistake. I totaly forgot to consider this. Guess I will need to enter some fishing lead through the holes in the engine cover,....will let you know how that worked out.....

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerzőokay- some lead shots did a good job...it turned out ok. 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiLet it dry well, I heard stories where after some longer time the lead reacted with CA. 👍

Matthew AI've had lead and CA heat up so much as it's curing it melted the plastic.

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző"You live and learn".... thx for all your inputs - never heard of exotherm reaction of CA & lead before.
No melted plastic so far & I really hope I was lucky and the kit survive unharmed.

TimGood work on the tail rotor shaft. Not easy drilling holes in small parts like that without ruining them.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőThx for your interest and coments mates! I am excited too....I really wonder how it turns out at the end?!

Greg BakerVery nice work. I'm hoping to find one of these in 1/144, but I assume there'll be a lot of scratchbuilding, so I'm following along to see how this one turns out.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőBurkhard - sorry for that and I hope that is fine for you. Honestly spoken I did not take care whilst checking the internet for Gazelle Rotorheads. NOW, with your input I was checking again and recognized the copyrights on the lower right corner - so I checked out the link to your Homepage now: great source !!! Ton's of Aircraft details - super!

Burkhard DNo worries, Juergen - fine for me. My website is made for scale modelers. 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőAfter spending nights to cut squares in 1/72 for a paint mask that would do he job I resigned. So I decided to ask for help: Thx to Daniel !! Check out his website brent-air-decals.at/ - a good source for decals with Austrian background btw.
He was of great help for me on this South African bird. Looking forward to start ....

Juergen Klinglhuber Szerző@ Erik: It was fortuity that a read on his home page that he is doing "individual" requests as well - so if there is a good picture reference available I can highly recommend to get in touch with him, he might be interested.
@Laurent: I am curious about it - this week end is blocked with other stuff, but a trial on the vertical fin I did already. It looks great.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőI used the last couple days to dress my chopper. All decals on, without accident.
29 April 2020, 08:23
Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőLaurent - not sure about your question with respect to decal - l'autocollant. Fait maison (more or less, again thx's to Daniel) as there is no aftermarket product and painting seemed to be a nightmare.
Greetings to all - have a nice weekend.

Juergen Klinglhuber SzerzőGents - an absolute fun project has ended. The bird is finished. I added a few pic's of it's final appearance. thx for watching 😉 and your interest. cheers.

Stefan FraundorferDeine Gazelle habe ich ganz übersehen. Gefällt mir sehr gut in ihrer außergewöhnlichen Digi-Tarnung.

Greg BakerJust picked this kit up today, and I remembered your awesome build, so I'm trying to "tag" it for future reference. There should be a "favourites" feature where you can collect other people's projects/galleries and keep them from getting lost.

Ben MGreg, I use the bookmarks feature in my browser, you can create a folder of just scalemates stuff.
