About a month ago， I planned to build an AS350 served in umbrella. But I failed to find an kit of the AS helicopter series. Then a decision had been done🤔: Dolphin in WWZ . The Dolphin appears many times in the film, in American black painting， WHO(maybe UNSC;the minister takes) white coloing，and Israel desert camouflage. Personally，I love camos，thus the Israel one takes the cake.
I planned to convert Z-9 back to Dolphin(enhancing the weapons). And I bought an unofficial decal(still in express transportation. I will start it tomorrow maybe😀

After cutting four side doors，I start to make a landing chassis. I choose thin skewers used for baking to be the material.
Welding is really hard to practice，and I didn’t do it well.
Coming along nicely. The landing skids look good.

This looks to be a cool project. If your joints are good you can file those lumps of solder down until they can’t been seen. If your joints are not good you just need to:
a. Tin the end of the vertical support and make sure the horizontal part of the skid is hot - your solder joints look a little cold.
b. Use flux to help the solder flow.

@18bravo Sophisticated suggestions🌹. Soldering means a lot in modelling. I found adhesives（even Ergo）are still not strong enough in PE working.
Came out looking good. Nice job on it.
