this is different to the colour scheme on the box because I remember seeing one at the cosford air show when I was a nipper and I think this looks much better.

Very nice Alan. As time goes on I like more & more helicopters. My next is a helicopter. There is a lot going on & I like that. Downside they take up a lot of room.

Did this a little while back - more fiddly than a fiddly thing !! Good fun to do, though, but they could have warned people about it tail-sitting......

Nice build Alan

Cheers, Neil

Your right about tail-siting , if I'd known I would have put a bit of blu-tack in the nose to balance it.

I might put it on a little plinth with some some ground crew to give it a better look.

Glad you folks liked it
