Nice course to take with this helo love the rescue colour. Is there any particular reason you have decided the option of rescue to military?

Very nice aircraft to build. I built a 1/48 version and it was very enjoyable. Hope you get as much satisfaction as I did Peter.


Lots going on and a good bit of rigging if you are that way inclined.

Yellow is one fo those colours which is very difficult to build up. Nicely done Peter.

 

[papa 695]

Yellow is difficult and you've done a good job Peter

 

[Ziper_it]

It's coming align very well, Peter.


Nice work on the cockpit, what have you used for the belts?

I used some a small strip of some very thin plastic card

 

[eddiesolo]

I think you have done superb with that yellow, as the guys have said it is a pain to build it up. Nice scratch work too.

[peterairfix]

Nearly all done i have tried some rigging using some thin wire striped but it may have to be redone with some thicker wire but comments are welcome View attachment 113418

Nice one Peter. I think that wire looks okay, once you give it a darker colour it will contrast with the yellow fuselage.
