Eurocopter Tiger Build

On behalf of the AHA and all our members, we would like to thank Lee for sharing his exciting Eurocopter Tiger build.

So it starts…
The Eurocopter Tiger. Everything laid out and looked at today. Next up, start cut-outs and rub down to get that shine off the gel coat. HPS-H701 Futaba servos on order for cyclic and tail. Worked out roughly where the flexi drive will route. Cheers Dennis Engel for some pics for positioning.

60% sanding complete. A very boring job and boring pics, but I like to get it out the way first and flat the seams back. Well worth the effort. Besides, adding scale detail adheres much better and it’s easier to draw location guides for parts and openings on a matte surface. Pleased with minimal pinholes around joins. Used a mix of 3M Scotch, red and grey, and 320g.

Stay tuned for another thrilling instalment ‘sanding part 2’, the 10ft bit.
