Hi, I recently finished the Fiddler's Green Sikorsky S51. This is my first repaint in which I have completely changed the paint scheme. I did it using Gimp. I am happy with how it turned out and look forward to doing more of them.
This is a Royal Australian Airforce Sikorsky.
The RAAF operated three of them, though only one at a time. The first two crashed in very short order, but the third, the one I have copied, had a long service life. It is preserved at the RAAF Museum at Point Cook, near Melbourne.
I made it at WSAM scale, which is 1/60. It was fun to make, the only challenge being the front windscreen. I also tilted the tail up a bit, as it seemed to build up too horizontal as designed.
The model comes in two sizes. The blue one is printed at regular size and the part built one in the background is the large size one. The small one was scaled down and used to make sure everything lined up with the repaint.
