I finally cast a dome for the top of the rotor from UV resin. It took four tries to get one round enough that could be sanded a little to complete it. I painted it good old Testor's gloss red but I didn't wait long enough to dry and put a big ol' thumb print on it while glueing it on. So out came the red paint for another coat which straightened it out. Pics to follow.

I thought it deserved a completely completed pic so here goes.



It's fun working with this UV resin. I can make a simple part so easily. One of my better model building tools.

Thanks everyone!
If anyone wants to tackle a story go right ahead. I suck at that so I’ll leave it to experts. Maybe something about Grumman teaming up with Sikorsky to compete against Bell.
