Well, this is a new one for me...a rather large helo...


Not done one before so...we will have a try. I might be adding fibre-optics for this kit too.

Yep, same mould, originally it would have been the clear, see through version so you could see the engine etc.

 

[Alan 45]

That's a big chopper !

 

[peterairfix]

I can't wait to see what you do with it

 

[Polux]

Yeah!! that's really different for you Si !!


Anyway, be calm.....I'm sure it will be another great build from you, as always

 

[noble]

[eddiesolo]

I can't wait to see what you do with it

Mine comes with a total different decal set than yours Peter, no Sharks mouth on mine. Cannot remember but did yours come with decal flashes for the pilots?

 

[Trooper tk421]

That's a huge model even for a chopper. Quite a challenge

 

[flyjoe180]

Thought about kidding with 'big chopper syndrome' but thought otherwise as I have grown up. Nice choice Si, I look forward to seeing another UH-1 built.

 

[papa 695]

Will watch this one Si

 

[eddiesolo]

Righto, thought it about time I made a start on this.


So, got the wiring loom sorted and then drilled and dried fit the fibre optics and flashing light. So, nav lights fitted and working. The other optics and orange light are going to be for the instrument panel and the cabin light.
