Hiller YH-32 Hornet WIP

cute little thing 🙂 

 

dry fit - looking good so far 

 

Hopefully the "undercarriage" will hold the weight of the finished model 

painting in progress 

control panel with a little bit of PE and decals (red squares on both sides) 

control column in place 

 

 

adding seatbelts in progress. 

rear portion of the fuselage in place and drying 

 

small adjustments to turbine PE parts to be more 3D instead of just flat part sitting on the top and the bottom of the turbine 

central mechanism almost done 

so much small and fiddly parts in one place 🙂 

top parts holding the main rotor in place 

and dry-fit main parts to get the impresion how it will look at the end 🙂 

rear rotor blade assembled and ready for paint 

 

two more PE parts need to go on top of the rotor blades 

support wire underneath the main glass 

main fuselage primed and painted MRP-234 Olive drab 

and all subassemblies also primed and painted 

the only thing that is missing in this stage - yellow strips for fuselage and tail rotor 

yellow strip on main tail section 

ready for decals 

Decalling finished! 

Decals were quite thin so I had to be careful moving the decal around 

overall - decals were really good. Very satisfied with the result 

few decals (do not stand) on the fuel tank were not mentioned in the instructions but they were present on the pictures 

the last decal made me laught. If you take a closer look, it literally says "Could not read this text unfortunetaly" 😄 

Done!
