Chinese Z10 helicopter - Hobby Boss
« on: October 20, 2020, 04:10:51 PM »
Just about to begin this one. I've probably had it a few years. The mouldings are crisp and clean (definitely first run ) so this should be a straight forward build.

Are you going to build the other attack helicopters to show the comparison?

I don't have a Rooivalk yet but I do have the others.
After a bit of searching I've found a source for the Rooivalk. The bank balance will take a hit.

Is this a real helicopter??   Looks like a Comanche to me.

Yes it is real and it does look like a Comanche ( which was scrapped in 2004 ).
