i finished her in to dark magnesium grey.. matte texture.. a great colour for war crafts..

[Krishna]

full painting is completed.. all paints are NC based.. total cost of paint about 50 Rs/- ( 1 U S Dollar)..
the deck painted in rusty green.. careful masking is needed to spray over deck.. by adding a little chalk powder to paint, along with a pinch of metallic silver gave me the finish of the rough surface.. on big crafts we can use strained sand..

[Krishna]

from any angle she is a stunning beauty..
trial with torpedoes..

[Krishna]

time to add lights.. all lights are based on L E Ds.. and driven by a third battery of 11.1 Volts/ 300 ma/H..

[Krishna]

at night she will be awesome view..

[Krishna]

adding the wind shield.. with O H P sheets..
Radome is made of foam board..

[Krishna]

the radar is rotated by a micro servo, converted for continuous rotation..  can control with TX from start to speed..
time to add decals.. all printed on an A4 paper.. cut and paste..

[Krishna]

instrument panel and turbo shaft engine exhaust covers..

[Krishna]

time for action..
 with everything on board she weighs about 1100 grams..

[Krishna]

mission time...just before official mission.. 

[Krishna]

on my first test runs craft behaved too erratic.. because of the light weight, and powerful motor, excessive nose tipping was a great head ache.. because of this nature, control was almost impossible at high speeds.. so back to work table.. and added two more thick ridges on bottom.. still she was not tamed.. so i used a head lock gyro, and an active stabilization system on it.. the active stabilization is based on a servo driver.. explain later.. so she became super responsive.. at any speeds.. and i reduced the prop pitch a little, and worked well..

[Krishna]

behold.. how nice she is to see.. i am too fascinated with her by all means.. look.. and performance.. we can simply imagine the fear that this machine inspired on enemies on its time..

[Krishna]

more actions follows.. with on board camera, and night patroling..
once again.. all respected Modeling Friends.. see here we do not need extreme stuffs to make a good craft.. only some handy materials.. total cost of this craft to me is only 400 Rs/- from my table to water.. and she is an excellent one for RCying.. so, wish you all a great happy new year with ample of crafts.. will be back with new videos and new crafts.. 

will she works nice..?
see cool action here...
