Having played with some 1/72 seeing your cockpit detail is even more impressive now .

A cracking start Colin.

Thanks for the input chaps. I'm using my phone for the pictures, just to speed things up. As you can see, I haven't quite got the hang of that just yet. Everything is about 5 x the original size.

However, look what just popped up. It seems BN now lives about an hour away from me.

Colin,
Cracking start mate. I had the pleasure in having a lift in one of these along time ago. I think I am right in remembering there is 18 tons of downwash from the rotors hence their superb lift capabilities.

Not sure whether 'pleasure' is the correct choice of words mate!

I had to check my fillings after the flight but it was fun lol

I’ll be interested to compare this kit to the Revell version. I quite fancy doing the USAF A version of the trumpeter kit.

Nice one Jakko, thanks.

Well now, despite all the good weather calling me outside, I have actually done a bit.

Unfortunately, every seam needed work. Fill sand, fill sand etc.
Masking that canopy took a few nights of ‘a bit at a time’ A mask set would have been a wise call here.

 

[papa 695]

Nice work so far Colin.

 

[Geoffers]

Looking good Colin

Geoff.

That's a lot of greenhouse! I hate masking!

Coming on nicely Colin.... The one and only 110 I've made I did DIY masks for and that took two attempts. I have masks for the other three 110s I have in the stash... Not going there again.

Keep up the good work.

ATB.
