For more than a month I have had the kit and I could not wait to start. But on principle I only do one project at the same time. Yesterday I unpacked the kit and started planning. I heard there was a mistake in the kit: the engine housing is too long, because it belongs to a later version (SH-2G). Unfortunately, I have to say that this is true🙁 However, I do not think that it should not be too complicated to correct this. Today after only one hour I had filled the hole in the transparent roof section and completed the first round of filling with plastic and super glue the front part of the engine housing.
More tomorrow when the glue has dried... I think, the housing is 6-7 mm to long (see sketch).

Hey Bernhard! I´m couriously watching your WIP as I want to build this kit also one day.

Bernhard Schrock
I solved half of the problem in about 2 hours and it was not that hard. Thanks to the super glue and plastic there was no need of using putty🙂

EME 2014 in Heiden was a good motivation and the cockpit has grown a bit. A few days ago I found some astonishing pictures in a forum.

scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_51604.html

However, I do not really like the amount of detail, especially in the cockpit and on the rotor head... 🙁

The windscreen is a true puzzle too! That is what I was afraid of most. Honestly I do not know what the designer might have had in mind. But: it is done! Pics tomorrow... Zzzzzz
6 May 2014, 20:30
Bernhard Schrock
Finally the fuselage-puzzle is done! Now I'm going to start doing what I like best about modeling: painting and airbrushing🙂

Wow Bernhard, this not a buildthread its a tutorial for scratchbuilding! Awesome work! Remarkable!👍👍👍

Murad ÖZER
superb work with the Instrument Panel, how's the fit of the windshield and other clear parts btw? 👍
12 May 2014, 14:42
Bernhard Schrock
Thank you Holger. I'm always very glad to find a researched built. This save a lot of time. Because of that I would like to share my research results with other Seasprite - enthusiasts.

Hubert Ortinger
Sorry, but: LMAA!!!
12 May 2014, 16:29
Bernhard Schrock
Thanks Murad! The fit of the windscreen on upper side is OK (8 of10). It is not clearly visible how the windscreen fits to all other sides because of lack on contrast (all parts are transparent). I think in a few days after airbrushing black and grey primer I will know more🙂
Hubert; ich versuche "nur" in die Fußstapfen von deinem Seaking zu treten...

Hi Bernhard, great to see you progress on the Seasprite! great job so far
13 May 2014, 09:05
Bernhard Schrock
Hi Luc, thx. I'm glad that you like them.
Most people do not like yellow. But I do! Next step is grey-brown for radome, grey for antennas and NM for inlets.
13 May 2014, 20:30
Bernhard Schrock
Good news: the roof correction has worked! After applying of black (interior color) now it is visible that all clear parts fits🙂🙂-🙂
15 May 2014, 18:00
Murad ÖZER
Cold sweat eh? 😄 Glad it's a good fit, i really wouldn't want to be fiddling with those parts...

Stunning, beautiful, informative.... I take a bow- and try to learn from your skills.
Was für eine Heli-Schönheit sich da wieder einmal abzeichnet!

Roland: das geht runner wie Öl- danke! Vielleicht wird die nachfolgende Idee für Dich vom nutzen.
Hi mates. I suppose that most of the aircraft enthusiasts know the anti-skid areas on planes and helicopters. In most cases these are coated with special paint which contains sand. Many years ago I had an idea to create this on my TBM-3E firebomber #3 and I was surprised how realistic this looked. Today I have finished the anti-skid areas for my Seasprite and I would like to share this idea with you.
The basis were the decals from Caracal decals with the white lines around the antiskid panels. After masking all the white areas I airbrushed a thick coat (really thick) with unthinned paint (Humbrol) with very low pressure (0,7 bar). Approx. 5 min later I pressed 1500 micro mesh into the still wet paint and produced an uneven surface. This looks in my opinion very similar to the anti skid areas. See 2 last pictures.

Magnificent!!! very accurated work so far...I realy enjoy it watching and reading all the complete post. Keep motivated Bernhard! good luck!!
18 May 2014, 19:48
Bernhard Schrock
Thank you Marc, especially for wishing me having motivation. I will need that (and a lot of patience) urgently because with the main rotor🙂 Look with the link to the russian modeling forum. Then you know what I mean.
19 May 2014, 16:55
Marc A.
I understand, but the true is that when some one as us get involve in such complete projects things like those 557.645 pieces 😄 give us that alive sensation...
That main rotor looks as.., how do I say it...challenge, big one!.
Keep working and I know for sure that it will be a top work!!!
20 May 2014, 12:23
Bernhard Schrock
If you think, you have waitet for information long enough: it is always too short. See my "experiences" with the MAD-Detector🙂
21 May 2014, 05:06
Marc A.
Marc A. Well, that is true!. But we're realy mad(?). Yes!, some times the project or the currently work possesion us, and then is when people think the mad that we are, or even by our self. It dosen't matter, right!, we are happy. It's something called "Being a modeller" thinking to get all de info and complet the job as better as real one is!...you going is right direction 😄
21 May 2014, 12:38

Welche Farbe hast Du bei dem Blau verwendet? Gefällt mir der Farbton!!!

Burkhard & Christian: vielen Dank!

Bernhard Schrock
Hi Dirk,
mit ganz wenigen Ausnahmen bin ich seit ca. 25 Jahren Humbrol treu und so habe ich auch hier die Farbe selbst gemischt. Ein Mix aus ca. 75% H125 (FS26118 ) und ca. 25% H181 (FS15042, leider seit etlichen Jahren nicht mehr im Programm ) kommt m.E. Engine Grey (FS16081) nahe und hat den richtigen Glanzgrad für eine Einsatzmaschine, die dem salzhaltigen Klima ausgesetzt wurde. An dieser Stelle noch ein Tipp: Engine Gray ist nicht ein neutrales grau (wie z.B. FS36008 ), sondern hat einen eindeutigen „Türkis-Stich". Oft wird durch Modellbauer ein neutrales grau verwendet, was den Gesamteindruck verfälscht. Siehe letztes Bild als Screenshot der Graureihe aus dem FS-Server.
colorserver.net/showcolor.asp?fs=16081

Übrigens sind die Decals von Caracal Decals (gedruckt bei Cartograf) hervorragend und haben nach der Behandlung mit Mr Setter von Gunze den gleichen Glanzgrad wie die Farbe. Kurzum: ich kann mir glücklicherweise auch bei diesem Projekt den Klarlack sparen🙂
27 May 2014, 06:50
Dirk Heyer
Hatte es mir fast schon gedacht. Die graue Beimischung macht es aus. Das Blau ist schön hell, nicht so Bärenar... Dunkel und Fettglänzend wie man es leider all zuoft sieht. Sehr schön getroffen.
👍

Yesterday it was "Vatertag" in Germany ("father's day" ). No office so I could spend some hours in detailing the MAD- probe and the auxiliary tanks. P.S. Danke für motivierende Worte Roland.

Christian Ristits
Da kann man sich wirklich auf das fertige Modell freuen...top!
30 May 2014, 18:58
Bernhard Schrock
Yesterday I had a bit of fun detailing the complicated wiring on the undercarriage. Are the sovjet helicopters constructed more simply? With all three helicopters from Mil Mi it was not half as complicated. It is probably because the Seasprite has retractable landing gear. Good thing I am an electrician by training🙂
P.S. Christian; Thx, dauert aber noch abissle, der Hauptrotor steht mir noch bevor. Kennst du nicht jemand, der einen fertig verkabelten Rotorkopf als Zubehör anbietet?
3 June 2014, 19:41

Hihi, leider nicht 😉 Aber den Spaß darf man dir sowieso nicht nehmen!

Bernhard Schrock
Moin Moin Christian. Ob du es glaubst oder nicht; so ein Puzzlekramm liegt mir wirklich, soweit die Augen noch wollen. Eine Scheibe ca. 0,8 mm stark vom Rundstab 1,6 mm in der Mitte. Darauf ein Stück Rundstab mit 1,2 mm Durchmesser, bei welchem eine Seite mit Skalpell abgeflacht wurde. Zum Teil offene Öse aus Draht, Enden abgeflacht und zum Schluss zwei Scheiben vom Rundstab 0,5 mm Links und rechts als Muttern. Bei beiden Rädern hat das keine 5 Minuten gedauert und war m.E. Nicht wirklich schlimm. Was ich wirklich lästig finde ist Spachteln, Schleifen und Gravieren. Übrigens greife ich die Kleinteile mit der Spitze eines Skalpells.

Jens
OHHHH Bernhard , seit ich 2001 Deine Modelle das erste mal live in Köln sehen konnte, habe ich ein Problem , ich finde nicht den Zauberspruch , der deine Perfektion , an meinen Modellen ,Wirklichkeit werden lässt 😄 naja , allein einer deiner Zeitvergleiche bei einem Tam Corsair Modell zeigt ja dann auch , Deine Geduld zahlt sich immer wieder voll aus 👍 👍
4 June 2014, 18:35
Bernhard Schrock
2001- Odyssee im Weltraum, ach nee das war ja 1969...
Jens, das finde ich bemerkenswert, dass du dich so gut erinnern kannst! Erstens finde ich deine Modelle sehr gut und sauber gebaut. So, das musste mal gesagt werden. Ich glaube, dass jeder sich selbst viel kritischer sieht als die anderen.
Lass mich kurz ins Jahr 1990 zurück blicken und dir diese Geschichte erzählen. So um 2 Jahre in Geschäft habe ich damals gerade eine 72ger Mustang von Heller mit Humbrol 56 lackliert und war sehr, sehr stolz. Kurz danach auf der Ausstellung des DPMV in Hannover begegnete ich Kay Koglin und seiner P-38 sowie der AH-64, beide in 1:48. Da stand ich mit offenem Mund und wollte gar nicht glauben, was ich da sah. 1998 in Offenbach standen wir dann beide auf der Bühne und gratulierten uns gegenseitig zum Gold und Silber. Er hatte die He-219 und ich die TBF-1c gebaut. Das war ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis.
Es hängt oft "nur" an dem "richtigen Kleber" oder der Technik, die man zufällig entdeckt und mit der man gut klar kommt. So war das bei mir z.B. mit der Mischung aus Metalizern und Mr. Color für NM-finish sowie mit dem Postshading für die Schattierung.
4 June 2014, 19:48
Nikolajs Negeriss
That was very nice comment, Bernhard! I agree with you on 100%. And I found 2 powerful ways to improve - complement other for nice work and asking more experienced guys, observing models, searching for something you really like and try to replicate.

Bernhard Schrock
Hi Nikolajs, it's great which nations it is possible to meet here. Thx for your friendly comments. Serdeczne dzięki! (myśle że polski jest bardziej podobny do litewskiego niż angielski🙂

Hehe, you speak Polish, Bernhard. Are you originally from Poland or...? I can understand some from Polish, it is similar to Russian. And I completely agree, our hobby is so international and thanks to Tim for this web page where we can met and chat. Even better then Facebook 🙂
5 June 2014, 05:54
Bernhard Schrock
Dzień dobry. Yes, I'm born in Gdańsk and I'm since 1980 with my parents in Germany. Mój polski trochę zardzewiał ale na szczęście moja żona mówi trochę po polsku. Write please any words in your mother- language. I'm curious how much I could understand.
5 June 2014, 07:28
Nikolajs Negeriss
I wonder if you can read cyrilic, but I will try in 2 ways. Here is translation on what you said to me: Moj polskij nemnogo zarzavel, no k scastju moja zena govorit po-polski
Мой русский немного заржавел, но к счастью моя жена говорит по-польски
It is even spelled very similar😉

Moin Bernhard 🙂 da bleibt einem wirklich nur der Kiefer offen 👍 2001 in Köln hast Du die Swordfish MkI gezeigt , Jac Geroand (?) war auch da , aber der spielt ja in einer anderen Epoche , ich denke , wenn man so sorglos bastelt wie ich , dann hat man immer ein Auge für solche Meisterwerke 🙂 ich kann mich auch noch an Deine Mail zur Corsair erinnern , ich hatte nur eine bescheidene Frage , und ich war mehr als zufrieden über die ausführliche Beschreibung 🙂das war 2002 , ja , eine derartige Leistungsklasse macht spass zu sehen , aber für mich Handwerklich immer ein Traum , wie das Uhrmacherhandwerk von Christian ebenso 🙂 👍 👍 👍

Köln 2002.... Viele Jahre her... Die Zeit mit dem Karton vom HP-Drucker und den Kondensmilchschachteln von Aldi für die Modelle: mit Bus zur S-Bahn, dann zum HH-Hbf, mit ICE nach Köln, zur CSW nach Wesseling, morgens zur Ausstellung und dann das ganze wieder zurück... War eine unvergessliche Zeit!!!
Übrigens Jens; galt Deine Frage der weiß-grauen AU-1? Wenn ja, dann kann ich mich daran erinnern.

Hallo Bernhard , es ging damals allgemein um die Arbeitsweisen mit den Ätzteilen , wie richtet man den Film perfekt aus, und wie verklebt man das dann ohne Versatz, wieso brauche ich für eine Konsole 2 Tuben sek. Kleber 😄 , ich habe damals zwar schon viele Jahre geklebt und lackiert , aber Modellbau im Detail war mir fremd , in Köln habe ich Jens Popp getroffen , und da habe ich dann auch was über Farben erfahren können , für mich waren Tamiya XF - Color das Ein und Alles , RLM und FS kannte ich nicht 😄

aber die Zeit vergeht , Jens Popp und JPS Color sind fast Geschichte , auch wenn ich noch JPS Color von Damals und gebrauchsfähig habe 🙂
Der ganze Modellbau hat ja einen Quantensprung gemacht , Schatton hat gezeigt , was man aus Messing zaubern kann , Andere haben das aufgegriffen und sind nochmal besser , die Resinteile von Aires ,aus der Zeit, wirken gegen heutige ,wie grob geschnitzte Versuche , und jeder Plastikmotor würde da bessere Ergebnisse versprechen . Aber bei allen Fortschritten bist ja Du immer noch bei sehr viel Eigenbau geblieben , und ich denke , das macht auch die überragende Qualli deiner Modell aus 🙂 👍

Hi Bernhard, I was in Cologne in 2000 and 2001 as well, unfortunately before my scale modeling era. Spent 3 or 4 months in total and then got guitar amp Marshall from there... Heh Long time ago 🙂 Nice city
9 June 2014, 12:14
Bernhard Schrock
Hi Nikolajs. Nice to hear from you! Did you and your wife manage the flights well? 🙂. Sun in Cyprus? We have full sun and 26* in KR; too much for modeling in my "plane lab" under the roof... I think, I will make a little bicycle trip. Have a nice vacation!

Meanwhile the first phase of the project is done; Seasprite has all "fixed" parts. Next phase (rotors) maybe next week

Beautiful job, Bernhard! I enjoyed following the photo updates with your added commentary.

Nikolajs Negeriss
Hi Bernhard! The flights were good, no turbulence at all and soft landing. The only challenge was that we arrived at 2:00am, while hotel checkin is at 2:00pm. We had to sleep on the hotel guest room sofa and then had a trip to Lemassol center. Unfortunately no modeling shops, but we found some other interesting stuff.

The weather is nice here. It is not too hot and the water is good enough even for my wife (that's exceptional🙂 ). The hotel service and food is great for 3-star hotel. So, I am satisfied very much 🙂

The only thing I miss is airbrush and scalpel 🙂
But I can observe how others are progressing😉 I like your Seasprite build - it is very accurate and full of details 🙂 Keep up good work😉 hopefully you can do hobby early morning or late evening if it's hot 🙂 warm regards!

Before the soccer game I started with the tail rotor as a warm-up for the main task (main rotor).
Dirk, halte durch . Am Sonntag wird der Heckrotor gestartet.

Today was rainy weather and.... a good modeling day. It was very interesting to try to understand how the rotor, blades, flaps & co works. One of four is now complete.

When you say "I am kind of forced to go through with the detailing now"
what are you on about ?
what detail can there be left to do other than a little more paint work on the rotors ?
you're not going to put hairs on the carpet of cabin are you ? lol 😄

Sometimes you have to have to "courage" to brake off and start afresh. For example like on the blades of a SH-3.
23 June 2014, 19:49

Bernhard, I am stunned! You are a craftsman of great skill, fortitude and patience. What a beautifully detailed model you are producing of one of my favorite helicopters. I'm impressed and motivated to add more detail to my own kits. I tip my hat to you, sir! R/ Dutch

Thanks! Investing a view hours into small parts was worth it - a good modeling day! Dutch; compared to model builders who invest one year into a model I'm not really patient. Sometimes I'm very impatient and just want to finish. Sometimes I get to a point when time becomes of no importance and then I try to build everything I see. See for example today's "half hour"-progress.
24 June 2014, 19:15

Bernhard! Great work! A half hour well spent! If I could just get the time and a little space. I don't even have a desk any more, what with three college students at home. Scratch that! One found a job in another part of the country and moved out today! But the problem remains. So I will adopt your mantra and work on half hour details. I disagree with Nikolajs. Thank you for the motivation. R/ Dutch

Nikolajs, you must be brave: I have not finished, I have forgotten the actuator for the linkage... And the topplate of the rotor looks nothing like the real thing.

Du sprichst Dutch, sorry Deutsch, Dutch-🙂 ?

Christian, die Welt ist sehr klein? Du hast nicht zufällig Morgen vormittag auf dem Flughafen Salzburg zu tun? Wenn dann könnten wir einen Kaffee trinken🙂 Ab morgen sind wir nämlich mit unserem Büro bei Euch für drei Tage auf einem Betriebsausflug.

No nonsense, horny work! 👍 👍 🙂
3 July 2014, 06:38

@Jonns: You say to the left? I thought it ought to be 0.2mm to the right and slightly up a bit. But then I do not have a truly "flat" flat screen monitor, so you are probably right!😉
3 July 2014, 11:36
Bernhard Schrock
You have good eyes when you can see this🙂.
How many colours has the rotor? Unfortunately to many! Blades and flaps; middle grey on top and black on bottom plus steel edges. Rotor head is a colour-patchwork to: different grays, steel, alu and rust here and there. The next step coming soon.

Wow, a lot of TLC in that kit to be sure - a fantastic tribute to this Cold War Warrior!

Hallo Bernhard, gratuliere dir zu diesem Ergebnis! Kann mich den Kollegen nur anschließen - mir bleibt schlicht die Spucke weg!

Unglaublich, Bernhard... eine wahre Augenweide und Inspirationsquelle- auch wenn nur einer so bauen kann!

hats off to u, Bernard. thAt's a very inoressive build, research, and documentation. am also building the kittyhawk seasprite now, though I won't have time to do everything u have done & just intend to build out of the box, at the very least u have inspired me to correct the seat heights.

Hi Bernhard! This is in fact the nicest chopper I `ve ever seen! Scale modelling at it`s best!

I'm speechless, just totally awesome.

That's probably the best model I've seen this year Bernhard. Magnificent work, the time and effort you have gone to clearly shows, well done.

I was really speechless while reading your comments. I think I might print and frame them...🙂. Thank you

What Bill sez, for me projects that take this long will stall eventually, this one otoh keeps getting better and better, like wine! 👍

Bernhard,it's not a whole lot of fantasy wrote. I dont do that. And the same can be said when I make comment on someone elses modelling. Being a modeller, you can appreciate the effort and skill another modeller goes to in making a model. And, in my opinion we do it for our own challenge first, the rewards come second and you are due for many of those if you enter a competition with it.

this will be most certailnly one of the finest helicopter models I've ever seen!

I think I'll leave that with the plastic modelling and play again with Lego 😭 Top job!! 👍

Dirk Heyer
Very nice details, Bernhard. I like the busy look of the rotor and the fine details you`ve done.
The Seasprite is truly a nice produced model and now, with all of your added details an eyecatching gem.

Stunning work! A real museum piece ! 🙂

Choppa Nutta
amazing work !! though the tail rotor looks a little weird with two blades grey, is that how the real heli was or is that the final job for this awesome model ?
7 July 2014, 13:36
Bernhard Schrock
Choppa, unfortunately I has no enough red paint for all blades....
Just kidding🙂 The original heli has two grey blades. Look one of the pics in the album.

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Alter Schwede! Super! Jetzt fehlt nur noch das er abhebt! 👍
7 July 2014, 13:45
Choppa Nutta
Thats unusual, why did they do that I wonder ?
Anyhow, if you used a photo background your model would look real !! 🙂
7 July 2014, 14:03
Jens
nun denn , wenn das Modell auf den Ausstellungen des Jahres noch antreten wird , dann solltest Du wegen der Pokale anbauen 😄 , ein wirkliches Sahnestück 👍 👍 👍
7 July 2014, 14:25
Bernhard Schrock
Thank you all x1000!!!
Choppa: this is an excellent idea. I have a large poster of an airfield. Maybe tomorrow I will try to shoot a picture.
Jens: Wars du bei mir heimlich in meiner "Egoecke" im Planelab? Das kleine Regal habe ich in der Tat 2004 zielorientiert gebaut und hab keinen Platz mehr. Glücklicherweise gibts in Heiden keine Riesenpötte sondern nur Medaillen. Übrigens dieses Jahr in Heiden war es seit fast 10 Jahren das erste mal, dass ich an der Wettbewerbsluft mal schnuppern wollte. EME Heiden 2015: ??

Alan Rush
Incredibly impressive detail work Bernhard. The finished model is awesome and I have enjoyed your step-by-step photos and the care and patience you showed in adding in even the smallest bolt for realism. As Choppa said, with the proper background, it can be taken for real. Do you have any plans to enter this model in upcoming shows?

Aghis Barberopoulos
Stunning outcome!!!
7 July 2014, 16:18
Felix Troschier
incredible piece of work!

aber warum stehen die Blätter so gerade in einer Achse ohne Zentrifugalkraft?
7 July 2014, 16:21
Holger Kranich
Och ich finde die biegen sich auch in Ruhe garnicht so sehr...
[img1]
 
7 July 2014, 16:43
Bernhard Schrock
Danke Felix, auch für Anregungen. Zu wenig durchgebogen oder die Spitzen zu wenig hängend? Hmmmmmm... Verglichen mit vielen Bildern hast du Recht: zu wenig ausgeprägt. Hab mich an Bild 88 orientiert. Die Blätter biegen sich ohnehin bei den Seasprite m.e. nicht so deutlich durch wie bei anderen hubis. Im Modell sind es ca. 1,5 cm auf jeder Seite. Vielleicht wirkt es so wegen der Eigenschaften des Objektivs?

Hej Holger: witzig dass wir parallel an der gleichen Antwort geschrieben haben....
7 July 2014, 16:46
Bernhard Schrock
Thanks Alan. I plan to visit EME in Heiden next year and show my last finished models. I will attend the exhibition of IPMS Germany in Berlin Gatow this year as a visitor but maybe I will take the Seasprite....

Now all you've got to do is build a 1:48th scale heli carrier 😄

Hi Mates. Just I shoot any pictures with background.

what a difference a backdrop makes 🙂
8 July 2014, 11:06

Yeah, the background brings a lot of life into it!!!

Hallo Bernhard , das sind wohl so die Erfahrungen , die jeder in seinem Hobby mit den Blecheimern oder Pokalen so macht 😄
Wettbewerbe im Modellbau werde ich aber meiden , dafür habe ich einfach nicht den Level,
oder , man würde den Pokal für das schlechteste Modell mitgeben 😄 ok , aber auch dann wären ja die Basteltische heiss umlagert 😄
Allein, was Du an dem Heli ,wieder an Meisterschaft an den Tag legst , und auch die einzelnen Arbeitsgänge dokumentierst , das ist für mich mehr Abschreckung als Anreiz , da fehlt es einfach am Geschick und an der Ausdauer
ich habe wohl einfach nicht die Ansprüche , die mich beim Modellbau soweit bringen könnten 😉
8 July 2014, 11:23
Jens
aber sowas anschauen , immer und immer wieder sehr gern 😄 👍 👍 👍

by the Way: the background is Neu Allermöhe (a part of Hamburg, where I lives for 25 years).

Just plain beautiful - as usual, Bernhard! Ist ja ewig her, dass wir uns das letzte mal gesehen haben - ich hoffe, wir laufen uns mal wieder auf einer Ausstellung über den Weg!

Ich musste mir den Heli nochmal anschauen. Allein der Rotorkopf ist schon der Hammer, ganz zu schweigen vom Rest. Ich glaub, ich werde alt. 🙂

Awesome work! Brings back memories of visiting my friend at NAS North Island in the '80's! I was a Marine Air Traffic Controller and she was a Navy mech. She showed me all the safety wiring they had to put on the transmissions! Miss those days.
