Sword 1:72 U-125A JASDF Air Rescue

 

 

 

I think MR. Hobby offers a better basis to start from. The dark colour is almost spot on, but the intermediate blue should be more blueish to suit the U-125.  

 

 

Best 5-year-old help I can get! 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhhh! 

 

One small hole on the inside, two frontal holes in different sizes. 

 

More hardware to the rescue! 

 

Bigger drill... 

Even bigger drill... 

 

The glass covers of the single lamps would be too large for the comlete covers. 

And once again: sanding, filling, ... 

...polishing. It won't get any better, (I can/must) live with it. 🙂 

 

Best 4-year-old help! 🙂 

 

 

 

As 028 and 027 are CSAR-birds, some protection might be helpful. 

Shortended the long...something...down under... Sanding, rescribing and so on.
