Test fitting the Mechanics inside the Fuselage after new paint!

[DAL2855]

Decided I would finally finish up this build by putting the 450 I built from all the spare parts I got when I bought the 450 DFC Pro from Jesse! Also have ordered the 5 blade Main Head and 4 Blade Tail Head for it! This will be one mean looking Jet Ranger when I get this build completed!

man that thing is looking sweet you keeping it alll black or you gonna put some scheme on it????

 

[Derek]

WOW! That's really good! Can't wait to see it when it's finished!!!

My favourite scale body. I am trying to find a nice scale Jet Ranger body for my 450 here in S.A. No luck yet.

Probably a good idea to put some color on that heli. I'd hate to fly a silhouette in the sky.

 

[DAL2855]

Yeah I will probably be looking for some decals to add onto it!

 

[DAL2855]

If you guys have any suggestions as to how to go about adding in the second color, please let me know. I will most likely be using white since I already have the white paint. I was thinking the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to be painted white, but don't know what else to do. But I know it needs something just can't decide what!

Just for grins, I decided to throw the 4 blade head and tail blades on the bird and take a few more pics!











But it will have a 5 blade main and 4 blade tail which both are on the way!

I would think some bright colors like maybe white some yellow possibly a bright blue red maybe or orange or green just some ideas all up to you.. Those all are very highly visible colors and a far a the scheme all up to your imagination i would use yellow frog tape to do the masking it is for delicate surfaces and less likely to stick real bad..

 

[DAL2855]

Well I have 4 of the bright yellow tail blades coming so I know the tail will be really visible, just wanted to add some color to the scheme but can't decide what I wanted to do so I'm taking suggestions. Most likely will just be using the white as I already have it. Just can't decide how to apply it, stripes, panels, or whatever!

Looks great mate. I'm really thinking to do a scale build next.

 

[DAL2855]

Thanks Lee! I really wanna do a scale build on my 550 that will be here this week sometime, but can't find many scale fuselages for the 550. Can find alot for the 500 and 600. Was thinking that maybe the 600 fuselages would fit with little or no mods to them! Am thinking either a UH-1 or UH-60 fuselage for the 550!
