An open top helicopter, good for rides along the seafront.

Cabin roof now on with a bit of filling to be done.
I used the original transparency from the Airfic kit for the roof window than that from the conversion kit. It's absolutely clear and it fits better.

There are more bits to be added yet.
Just dismantled it to polish the inside the cockpit glazing to guard against the blooming from superglue.

Will you coat it in anything?
I once built a Feisler Storch, using some superglue on the etched brass parts and the canopy fogged.
So take care.

I've tried some polish but the brush must have been dirty - I could fog it up witout superglue. My latest try is to coat the inside with Deluxe's 'Looks Like Glass'.

I use Klear but as you say you have to make sure the brush is clean, ask me how I know?
