I’m building this for a GB at my local model club. It’s well under way already I just haven’t been taking photos of the build.
Operation Mikado was a botched mission to insert special forces into mainland Argentina.
It’s mostly assembled and received a coat of green paint.
The kit needs a bit of back dating from the kit version. A lot of the lumps and bumps aren’t needed so some filing and smoothing is required. A large blister fairing behind the cargo door was found in the spares box.
Some minor scribing was added to the engine cowlings.
The tail fold bulkheads are barren so I added wire here for the electrical harnesses, two slices from plastic rod for the driveshaft DCC and a sliver of plasticard for the tail rotor pitch control link. Drilled lightening holes on the fuselage side bulkhead and trimmed on the tail pylon side.
Photos to illustrate.
