Juergen Klinglhuber This was my "Cockpit-Weekend" - not only the Gazelle Cockpit got finished, I also made progress on the Cobra,...

Stefan Fraundorfer Deinen Bau werde ich mir genau ansehen und als Referenz verwenden. Habe die Cobra auch in meinem Stash und möchte sie bald mal realisieren.

Juergen Klinglhuber Danke für dein Interesse - mal schauen was da am Ende für ein Model raus kommt,....

Juergen Klinglhuber So, all decals on. The bird is dressed !!
Some final work on the rotors and the cannon nessessary.
The weather is getting more ond more nicer these days and I hope that I am done before summer starts

Juergen Klinglhuber Gents - I know that some of you have that bird on stash and thinking about to start glueing. So here some experience I made: decals went on pretty easy, but the instructions show some typos. So make sure you cut per "picture" and not per number shown. Plus: Check twince upfront decaling the vertical tail fin - you need to put some alu paint on the housing of the tailrotor drive. All the other decals have it printed on the sheet. The "R" on the brand name comes without - I have no clue why(?). See picture above - 2/3 of the black bubble you see there needs to be painted upfront decaling.

Clifford Keesler Nice Lighting.

Juergen Klinglhuber @all: thx

Matthew A It's hard to believe this is the old Hasegawa/FROG kit

Mirko Römer Fastest and best looking frog out there!

Skywalker Did you rescribe the panel lines or work with the raised lines? I will be doing this old frog soon. Were there any issues with the kit?

Juergen Klinglhuber Thx gents.
@Skywalker: no rescribing....I started the kit 10 years ago, semi-finished it and than it moved out of sight. When I restarted it couple weeks ago I decided to do some exercises on paint application - so no extra efforts on my 10 year old glueing.
Issues: old kit = less details, raised panellines; but: there are deep lines at the ailerons (way too deep I would think - its a "gutter"). Fit was quite okay - less sanding and filling required.
Take care when fitting the air inlet to the fuselage. They do not match perfect. The ring is really a ring but the fuselage is oval. So there is a small step in the transition of the two parts that might catch someone's eye.

Skywalker Thank you Juergen. I hope I can do this old kit justice.

Skywalker Thank you Juergen. I hope I can do this old kit justice.

Paul Juliano Well done! Love the white.

Matthew A Lovely

Tim Nice gazelle!

Juergen Klinglhuber Laurent, Paul, Matthew, Tim --> Thx for your kind comments.

Stefan Fraundorfer Deine Gazelle habe ich ganz übersehen. Gefällt mir sehr gut in ihrer außergewöhnlichen Digi-Tarnung.

Diego DH looks great

Cuajete Very nice little Gazelle. Good job. Congrats!

Juergen Klinglhuber Gents - THX for your feedback

Juergen Klinglhuber update - I figured out that spinner from the kit(s) to not match the real thing in size and shape. I decided to scratch with spare parts from my rummage box to come closer.

Juergen Klinglhuber Anyone ever stumbled over Herstal Gunpods in 1/72 ? I did not and decided to scratch them - not sure how they turn out,....

Juergen Klinglhuber I had the same Issue with LAU32-7 rocket launchers,...was not able to find that one in 1/72. So again some scratch work where required. Meanwhile I have a first layer of dark green on those pods...

Juergen Klinglhuber Pod and Launcher - done.

Mirko Römer Great work so far!

Łukasz Gliński Nice scratchbuilding

Juergen Klinglhuber Thx Mirko.
Thx Lukasz. That makes it even more interessing,... (to me).

Łukasz Gliński You made me start thinking of buying the Dutch one, one day maybe...

Neuling Beautiful bird!

Juergen Klinglhuber thx

Stefan Fraundorfer Wow, einen Segler im Modell sieht man ja eher selten. Sehr saubere Arbeit Jürgen!

Rafael Lang beatiful

Juergen Klinglhuber Thank's for your nice comments,.....

Thomas Kolb Wow, this is a nice model, and a clean build!

Gordon Sørensen Great looking glider, Juergen!

Juergen Klinglhuber Thx for asking. had some troubles but caused by myself. I will subsequently fill this album asap. greetings juergen

Tim Vereecke great!

Łukasz Gliński Cool, I must have missed it somehow
The proper name of the licenced version is SM-1. Dash 300 was a testing version, this single example being built.

Pierre Vauthier very nice, the building step pics are intersting !

Greg Baker Interesting. I was wondering about the Amodel Kit, but it seems to be almost as rough in terms of fit as the WK one I have.

Juergen Klinglhuber @all - thx for your inputs. And Greg,...yes, it seems bad fit is common to both the kits....

Juergen Klinglhuber Finally some pic's on this long lasting build. Credits to Roland. thx. I hope you like it.

Bernd Korte Respekt!

Łukasz Gliński Great job on that soapy piece of sprues

Alec K What an airplane, and what a bag of plastic. Great job

Juergen Klinglhuber Thx mates.

Pierre Vauthier great job

Juergen Klinglhuber Finally I had time to done some more pic's of the finished "Blue Elise" and add them to the Project folder....

NorK Genial wie immer! My BPK - Elise still is waiting...

Treehugger Nice. Roden has some kits of the Pilatus Turbo Porter in 1:48 scale, might be worth checking out. This plane is also featured in the French movie "Sky Fighters".

Juergen Klinglhuber Thanks gents

Markus S. Ach, den hat Fly auch in 1:72. Wie süüüß!!

Alec K Great project

Neuling Nice build of an interesting birdie!

Ben M Interesting prototype, and a very nice build of a tiny and intricate subject.

Alex Rodionov Rare and nice thing.

Łukasz Gliński Briliant finish Juergen

Matthew Stec Cool aircraft!!

Juergen Klinglhuber Thank you all for your comments.
