Hi Peter
You don't see many of these built. Looks a nice kit. Great start and I'm sure you will do this proud.

Never been one for hanging about have you Peter!? That's off to a flyer!

Can you correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this (Piasecki H-21 Shawnee) was known as 'The flying banana':

You'd be right. To me the Chinnok looks like a flying zucchini :smiling3:

Nice start Peter, this looks rather large

Ya, the Chinnok looks more like a zucchini and the Shawnee is the original flying banana.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Peter
Good progress. Looks to have gone together well. Interior is nice although it may be another case of 'not too much will be seen'

Not on much now Peter, illness etc but nice to pop in now and again and see some great work.

Fantastic work so far mate, love the office details and the inside. As mentioned you do not tend to see many of these knocking about in the modelling work so a refreshing change to see one and being made to a high standard.

To many but some are so big they are being spread out over a few months or In some case one of them had been going for best part of six years
