Hughes 300

Prepped and ready for priming  

 

Primer and base coat of red done 

SMS Super Silver 

 

 

 

Red parts coated in Tamiya clear red through the airbrush to make the red loo deeper.  

 

Seats done with MIG Acrylic Cremeweiss. The manual suggested brown, but looking at all the reference photos most seemed to have cream seats. Base is Tamiya TS-66 Grey.  

All parts wet sanded and ready for decals. After that will be a clear coat to seal.  

 

 

Tamiya clear acrylic brushed over this decal to represent the glass covering  

Decals on the egg 

I hate decals 

Deacals on the tail rotor 

So I completely forgot to put the control panel in the cockpit before sealing the egg, so I had to crack it open, breaking the seal and all of the dried decals.  

All back together. I touched up the decals with white paint and the egg with red paint.  

Decided to paint the tips instead of using the decals.  

 

 

 

Right after these photos were taken the model did a backflip onto the floor and broke to pieces. Glued it back together as best as I could. Clear coat to come and then I'll be glad to see the back of this one.
