Had this kit some considerable time. Mouldings look good. Just started with the insides.

Just started this.
Etched brass mesh glued on the inside of the fuselage.
10 parts so far on the engine assembly.

Got this during the first lockdown. Mouldings look good. Should be straight forward.

Just started this - should be fairly straight forward. The converion kit is Air Graphics and I'm using a Revell donor kit.

My next project. A mix of plastic and brass work. This is quite a small model - I think it may take awhile.

And just when you all thought I wasn't going to make anything different. So for a change I stared these at the playday.
Painting of these will be fun. The mouldings are very good.

I thought I'd better get going with this to try and be ready for our model show. Hopefully this will be ready to display alongside the Chinook Bravo November fo the Falklands anniversary.

Modelling Projects / Flying Banana
« on: April 03, 2022, 02:56:02 PM »
Started this while waiting for paint and glue to dry on the other models in progress.
This is one of the original flying bananas produced by Piasecki  - a company eventually swallowed up by Boeing.
This is a new kit by LF Models. Very little flash so should not be too onerous to out together.

Modelling Projects / Kamov Ka 31
« on: March 21, 2022, 03:27:53 PM »
Started this one at the playday yesterday. The plastic is not as soft as some Amodel kits. The parts are relatively thick with a fair amount of cleaning up required.

Modelling Projects / Vietnam UH-1D Huey

This I began at the latest playday. The intention is to motorise this and display it in a diorama - a hot LZ or PZ.
The motor should just about fit inside the fuselage. The difficult bit will be getting the shaft to run true. The motor is 1.5v with a four stage reduction giving 23rpm. I think I may run it at 3v.

Here is the next project with a change from the greys and greens. Can't decide whether to do the army version or the NASA version yet.

First items 3D printed with the new toy were some patchwork templates for the wife. I used a web based 3D software package to design them.
Now I'll have make something model related.

Modelling Projects / Ka15 ambulance
« on: September 07, 2021, 01:26:00 PM »
Next project. Kamov Ka15 ambulance produced by Amodel in 1/72nd scale.
It's the usual Amodel short run soft plastic; a bit fiddly.
