This model depicts my MD-530F H-135 in desert camouflage, from
the Chilean army. It carries m260 rocket launcher & HMP-400 artillery pods.
All modifications are scratch built except the canopy (AVM models).

The model was painted with
an airbrush in Model Master & Humbrol enamels. Weathering was done using an airbrush also, with enamel base colors plus white & black, finished with water-soluble pastels.
A tarp was placed over the cab and drawstrings were attached to the blades in order to give a more realistic finishing. Decals were self-made.
The 530F series, has many differences with the original MD, so
I made several parts from scratch. Tail rotor lengthened, fairings & antennas, shortening skids and upper windows filled with putty and plasticard.
Both Pods were made of pencil parts and plasticard.
