Jup, fast fertig. Arbeite derzeit am Flugbase. 🙂
The weathering of my USMC UH-1Y "Venom", call-sign "Star Force 21" has been completed over the weekend.
The decals have been added, the details painted and then I went crazy with the oil paints. 🙂
I let the pictures speak for themselves. I have to be honest, I am not completely satisfied with my painting skills. The colours are too thick in some places. Well, every project is helping to learn and improve though!
More pictures with close-ups and from different angles can be found here:

Bitteschön. 🙂
Done!!!
Today I have finished the base for my Huey conversion. I took an Italeri 1/72 scale Twin Huey and converted it into the latest UH-1Y "Venom" (Super Huey) by using parts of a Revell AH-1W Cobra, an Olimp Models Resin Whisky Cobra Upgrade Set and an Italeri Bell 412 as well as a Kitech AH-1Z Viper. The Low-Viz decals were part of the Olimp set.
The base itself is a flat oval one from Gripping Beast, with the clear plastic flyer rod coming from GW. I have used standard materiel: flock from Busch, Clump Foliage (summer) from Gale Force 9 and summer grass tufts from Noch. Colours used were black for primer, Tamiya Flat Earth followed by drybrushing with Vallejo Iraqi Sand.
There is a whole "work in progress" run of posts on my blog.
Anyway, on to some pictures of the finished Venom, call-sign "Star Force 21":

Jo gefällt mir auch sehr sehr gut, ist ja auch der kleine Massstab, also deutlich fitzeliger zu bemalen! 🙂)
Vielen Dank. :blush:
Heute nachmittag habe ich mir eine Vitrine im Möbelhaus bestellt. So langsam wirds eng in meiner 2-Zimmer-Wohnung.
Die Projekte laufen langsam aus dem Ruder 😛
-Red Scorpions für 40k
-Aliens, Predators und Marines für AVP (Eigenentwicklung)
-mehr Irakis, Chinesen, USMC und Army für Force On Force
-Haus Kurita und Haus Davion sowie Clan Wolf und Ghost Bears für Battletech (aber in N-scale (ca. 12cm), nicht die mickrigen Mini-Mechs)
das braucht alles Platz. :lol:
Naja, jetzt hab ich erstmal noch ne AH-1Z Viper +Base zu bauen für meine US Marines und dann noch so 15 Fahrzeuge oder so. Ich war grad vorhin mal am Schrank, Schachteln zählen.
Aber was du aus deinen Dropzone Miniaturen rausgeholt hast, ist auch nicht von schlechten Eltern und das ist ja nochmal eine Nummer kleiner.
Also ich finde mittlerweile den 20mm (1:72) Maßstab sehr viel angenehmer zu bemalen als 40k Modelle. Man kriegt die Modelle einfach schneller fertig auch wenn man da ein bisschen Mühe für die Details reinsteckt.
@Scream
was für eine Vitrine holst du dir denn?
@Arkon, nix weiter Besonderes. 2m x 44cm x 38cm mit Glastür, Beleuchtung und 7 Glasböden aus dem Mitnahmemarkt. Musste aber bestellen, weil in Buche / Alu brauche, damits zum Rest der Möbel passt.
I have started on my AH-1Z Viper (Call-Sign "Starwolf 14") that is going to escort my Venom transport helicopter and give the Marines on the ground something to call if immediate CAS is needed 🙂
Finished the cockpit and crew today and put it into the main fuselage. So far it looks really like nothing to be honest, but that was the case with my Venom as well :-D
I have also started its base.
I'll post progress on this bird in little steps, just like I did the last time.

Since there were some tragic events taking place in my family, progress wasn't as much as I had expected to achieve over the weekend.
Anyway, the modelling always helped me to clear my head and so here are at least two pics of the little progress that I made:
Cockpit canopy added, base fuselage completed (I also completed the whole flyer base, but I won't show until the bird is done), ready for the paintjob...

Finished painting the low-viz camo.
Next steps is painting details, weathering the fuselage, adding final payload and of course decals.
Starts to look like a helicopter finally. 🙂
Hm das fixt das Modellbauherz ordentlic an, auch 1:72 hat seine Vorzüge ( und sei es nur der Platzverbrauch) 😀
LOL. Ja, der Maßstab ist was Tolles. GW hat wenigstens ein hervorragendes Flugbase. Der Viper Chopper bekommt auch wieder so eines wie mein Venom.
Panel wash, exhaust smoke and weathering completed. Next step: adding decals and a few touch-ups here and there.
Sieht richtig richtig gut aus! Aber was ist das denn da vorne an der Nase? Wirkt auf mich falsch, auch wenn es sicherlich seine Richtigkeit hat ☺️
Das ist der Sensor für "Low Airspeed Data" der Firma Meggit. Das benötigt man bei langsamer Vorwärtsbewegung unter 30 Knoten oder Schwebeflug zum Einsatz ballistischer Waffen. Der Apache Longbow hat das auch, allerdings sitzt dort der Sensor nicht vorne neben der Scheibe sondern oben, am Triebwerksgehäuse.
After finishing off the AH-1Z my next project for the "Battle For Skira" campaign is some ground vehicles. I picked my AAVP7A1 amtracks, call-sign "Gator", to be the next in line.
The models are one Dragon die-cast, expanded with EAAK made from resin (Black Dog CZ), and two Dragon Amtracks w/EAAK kits that got single pieces of stowage from Black Dog and other brands (S&S for example) glued all over the place. 🙂
The diecast and one of the plastic kits are shown below in various stages of the current build. I need to assemble the next kit and will start painting when all are completely assembled.
