I always thought that mold had a distinct Rotorstorm feel to it. I am also looking forward to seeing it as such.

I know you can buy clear paints in a can (they use them for the clear radio controlled car bodies to get the translucent effect) but I wonder how to get rid of the yellow already in place on the clear plastic? Painting the clear pink over the top would surely result in a brown-orange hue?
Since the rotor blades will be a solid pink, maybe it would be easier to just do the same over the cockpit?
You are a more patient man than I, I always give up after a few coats when painting a lighter colour over a dark colour, all that sanding and masking!

Yeah sorry for the lack of updates fellow bots. Going from a desk job to a network field engineer in the last few weeks has knocked the stuffing out of me and as a result my hobbies haven't been at the forefront of my attention. Hopefully I'll be able to do a bit of work on ol' Rotorstorm this weekend or the next so stay tuned. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen!
But I want an update nooowwww......
Hey bots, small update for today. Rotorstorm has been primed and will be ready for his first coat of paint next weekend. As I've finally started the ball rolling on this one, updates should be a tad more consistent from now on.
I've said it once and I'll say it again, the Tamiya Fine Primer is soooooo much better than the Mr Hobby stuff, it goes on like an absolute dream with no transparency at all. I'l be using Mr Hobby acrylics for the main paint though, does anyone have any experience in terms of paint/thinner ratio for this stuff or is it still a case of getting the milky consistency? I've heard the Mr Hobby acrylics are pretty thin to begin with so I might just add a tiny bit of Tamiya acrylic thinner. What could possibly go wrong??
Another thing I wanted to ask for anyone in the know, is it best to airbrush the smallest parts first, tape them up (when dry obviously) then do the largest bits last (to avoid having to tape huge sections)? It seems most people spray the whole object in the main colour and go from there, but surely that means they have to go through a lot more tape??
Oh and in regards to the cockpit, I'm going to take i_amtrunks' advice and simply spray it the same colour as the 'blades (hot pink).
