The rotor disks are just tooo reflective - and will be worse at Telford,
so I've built the kit rotors. Intention is to fit wedges of blurred clear to double (or a bit more) of the kit rotors as you seem them in this image.
I found it hard getting the perspective right in this rushed pic, and might need to adjust the helicopter height.
Those latest ones are the best looking yet! You'd probably be even closer to the actual look by just using the clear wedges as the blade in motion never really looks solid...

That had occurred to me, but I don't want to compromise the rotors.
This is what it looks like today.
Might be worth me putting some more paint on the upper surfaces, next time I'm airbrushing.
OK here's the scene. I'll lower the helicopter when I get my tube-cutter back.
Currently the Vertol is a bit high to get the perspective of the scene right.

Skidmarks behind the 'plane, result of a 2 mile white knuckle slide across the frozen lake.
And here's the crash - with a light dusting of snow.
Slushy footprints around the cockpit where all the survival gear was pulled out.
They would have lost most of that had they ejected
