I agree that's a lot for what your getting. pretty cool the 3D printing but it can be expensive.

Glad to see you agree. Not as much if you live in the UK!!!
So I have painted the main and tail rotor blades. Happy with them.
Doing the main in gray, just don't remember them in black, could be wrong but gray looks better.
Painted the tips white first, primer and gloss. Then yellow. Masked the thin white and sprayed red, then mask and black.
So I am goin nuts and attempting the main rotor fold ends from scratch. I am insaaaaaaaane!

Yes you are - but sounds good.
I agree about the price of the accessories. I found a set of resin exhaust for a RAF Wessex (twin turbine engines), in the USA, but the cost, shipping and probably Customs duty, would cost more than the price of the kit !

Now what?
I measured the parts, drilled a shallow depression and partially cut the pieces.
Attached two pieces of 1x1 square stock, shaved the bevel on the backs.
Now, how in blazes do I cut three slots in the ones with No hole, and two to fit in the Other????

Nice work and great attention to detail ! Those after market goodies can sure ad up fast price wise. Usually the shipping is the deal breaker for me !
