That looks AWESOME!!!!!

Please send the painting dept a memo asking them to please complete their work.
They signed off on the jobcard but the pilot's optronic turret has only the primer and undercoat.

Hehe, Did I miss that? oh well, will send it back to the paintshop. But the optronics turrets on these choppers are not all painted the same?

Hi Jakes,

I take my hat off, as Rooivalk is deceivingly difficult to draw or build. You did a great job. I just want to make one comment on the front though. The nose shape is odd, and I traced it back to the canopy being too narrow as the culprit. I've drawn a rough set of lines to give you an idea what I'm referring to. This is of course merely my opinion.



Keep up the good work.
Cheers
John

Hi Bladerunner,,

Thanks for the input! yeah The wire drawings I've had was not that accurate on the front elevation, or let me say, when I traced the lines from the front elevation, then it did not correspond with the top elevation. So had to choose which one I will use as main reference, and I used the top, as it have more info on it. But will play around with the scaling and see what I can correct!

Hi Monique,

Glad you like it. It is available for purchase here but I am sure a better prize can be discussed, as I only get about 60% of that selling prize. Anyone that is interested, can PM me.
But the FS9 and FSX model will remain freeware to download
