If you are talking about the paintjob only, it takes around 9 to 10k to produce.
Keep in mind that this was done by an artist who's expertise is not in helicopter or aircraft painting. So i actually had to hire 2 painters.. One was the artist who knew all about airbrushing and paint effects, and the other was an aviation painter. Each had something to teach to the other... The paint type had to be aviation approved, and so on.... And besides that there where 2 mechanics that had the job to dissasemble the helicopter for deep inspection, powder coating of the internals, removal and replacing of screws and supervising both painters thru there job.
The mechanical part is not included in this budget since i thad to be done anyhow.. With paint or without...
The windows had to be replaced except for the skylights... Which also made sense to replace anyway considering the cost of the overall job, and taking into account that they will have to repaint some parts if removed later.
So all in all without compressor job, you can expect to spend around 16 to 20k's in all the jobs i did. Not including compressor overhaul.. Which is actually quite expensive...
I loved it anyway.. I am in love with jet rangers. Specially this one
