Roban 800 EC135 Red Bull Flying Bulls 1st Forray Into Scale Build Thread

Chapter 8 of 8

Sand, Fill, Prime, Repeat

Nov 9, 2026

First forray into scale helicopters. Decided to start the scale detailing with the skids. I’ve spent more time reading about sanding, filling, prepping for paint and priming than one man should. But the effort is paying off. Added skid supports from fine scale modela which look great. But lots of inperfections to smooth out. Working with bondo spot putty. Works well. Almost have the skids ready for final paint. Just one more round of sanding, filling a couple small spots and touching up the primer to go. Slow and steady progress.
