Update on my insanely huge Blue Thunder helicopter from the 1983 film starring Roy Scheider.

You can purchase this 3D print kit for 7$ USD:

More rivets for the second side of the tail boom.

I’m using Quinta Studio .8mm separate positive rivets, AMMO Decal solution & blade to help position them one at a time.

Using the decal sheet as a guide to help keep consistent spacing for the horizontal line.

Getting ready to modify Murphy’s LAPD Astro Division flight suit.

I haven’t found any pre-made 1/12 scale pilot helmets for Blue Thunder that I like, so I’m going to try to scale down a much larger version for Murphy.

I loved that film, theTV show was ok but kinda sucked as it didn’t have any of the original cast in it…we really need a good helicopter TV show again!

Awesome subject but the bad part is you will need to scratch build a LAPD car shot up in two on a bridge to go along with your chopper. :grin:

I didn’t care for the tv show even as a kid. It sort of eliminated the entire point of the movie.
