Paint and deals. As you can see I'm taking some liberties with the paint scheme. Now with a pretty shitty kit like this a good idea could be to go for a busy camo scheme and some relatively thick paint to help cover up and distract form the worst of it. I instead went for Alclad. Well, trying some Alclad was basically the entire point of it all (and the result quit encouraging). One rotor on Vallejo Metal Color aluminium for comparison, the other in gold since that bottle was starting to feel lonely. Decals were in excellent condition despite probably being near thirty years old. Poorly printed and quite thick on the other hand. Thick decals really don't seem like the best approach when your surface detail is a billion raised rivets, but Airfix apparently begged to differ.
Next up is to see how much a coat of Tamiya gloss will screw things over before a quick wash, calling it done, and using it as an air gun target.
