Title: Israeli Bell Cobras
Post by: chriswil42 on March 29, 2020, 11:45:01 AM

A pair of Israeli Bell AH-1 Cobras from Hasegawa. I was going to display these at the April meeting but because of the enforced home time (modelling time), I thought I'd post a photo.

Welcome and well done.
That's the cleanest cutting mat I've seen for a long time.

Well Tony it is the mat I use for photos. You should see the one I actually work on.
As for the decals Martin they went on ok. I was very careful with them and used microsol to keep them down.

Thanks Chris  -- decals always go wrong for me.  I think I rush doing them, must slow down and concentrate.

Just concentrating would make a nice change - ho, ho - just getting my own back.

Ey up Chris.  Nice to see you, to see you...

Lovely work there.  I have a couple of helis in my stash (can't remember what exactly) but this has given me motivation to have a go at one when my current project is finished!

Fair point.  Let's see when I can find a ship and see when it gets here - I do have an underwater swimmy thing to do in the meantime though.  I know your views on them Haddock but it's a start innit?
