Hi all,
Aaron was willing to repaint his Army version to a USMC version of his CH-37, and I volunteered to test build the model.
I printed up the 9 pages of the helicopter, on Wausau Exact Bright White, 65 Coverstock(my standard flavor of cardstock)
as this is a test, i didn't seal the pages, but I will when I go and build it in all seriousiness.
Starting on the first sheet, i cut out and shaped and glued the greenhouse part of the cockpit
The gaps in the canopy is probably my dumb doing where I wanted the bottom of the cockpit be flush, i have seen some pictures where the bottom edge is varied
Up next was the bottom part of the nose, the loading doors are located here, but is not modeled by Aaron.
I made the decision to cut out the tabs, mainly to try the method described by Barx2, in this thread http://ift.tt/1JE6egT
I purchased 1/4 and 1/2 inch permanent adhesive dots at Amazon, to "glue up" the gores of the chin doors.
An unintended bonus was the opportunity to glue up the sides similarly to the models of Zio Prudenzio.
The parts are mirrored, so this helped me with alignment, and gave me 2 sets of tabs to glue up.
This is the end result
The cockpit and the chin were mated next
The final set of photos show the first two section of the fuselage glued up with the nose.
I have cut out the last two parts of the fuselage towards the tail, those I am keeping for when i get back to them later today on Sunday.
