US Coastguard Helo Helicopter

I've got the template from the Official website of
US Coast guard.

The original size is 2 pages A4 but I reduce to one page A4.
It is still bigger than 1/144 but I'm not sure about the exact scale.

Again, no instruction. This time, I googled the actual picture of this
helicopter (last picture) and tried to assemble it.

Hope you guys like it. :mrgreen:

Nice job Shika, that's not an easy model to build. It's an awesome helicopter too! Have you seen the Kamov at Canon Papercraft, that one's a beauty also! Contra-rotating rotors! :)

You did a good job. I would suggest getting a set of water colour paints and a very fine brush to colour the edges. You will be very happy with the end results.

Thanks for the comments and compliments guys, I really appreciated it.
Next week, I'll fix the curb color and also flip the rotor blade.
My friend just showed me his 1/144 Special AS365 F-toys Heliborn3.

Much better. Just a little touch up goes a long way in enhancing the appearance of a paper model. So what is next on your build table?

The name of the game, in paper modeling, is to enjoy yourself. See you around the forums.

You did a good job and are improving quite well.

Just remember to paint the edges before your glue the parts together.

I am looking forward to seeing your next project.
