About to start this. 1/72nd scale DreamModel; first one of this manufacturer to make. The mouldings look good with some resin and brass.
Looking forward to seeing this. The decals could be fun.
There are decals for two aircraft - I shall be doing the easier one - not the one on the box lid.
Why not Chris - YoHoHo

Red would hand-paint this before tea.
Basic fuselage done. Nose removed so that new resin nose can be attached.
This went together pretty well - no filler needed yet.
Neat work.
Looks good.
Looks a bit draughty in the driving seat to me - YoHoHo
Shame about the decals, it would have been an interesting choice.

Yes I thought it would be quite difficult to slap them all over the contours of tbe fuselage. The scheme I will do has similar images on the tail and rear fuselage.

Not so draughty now. Cockpit fully enclosed with undercarriage and new nose on.
Got a little brass bending now to finish it off with.
Looking good.

It's amazing how many come up with fifty when I mention shades of grey. I think I have about 17 in my box.
Non from me Chris - don't know what they are getting at - hohohohoho
Model declared finished.
This was a pretty good model to build. Most parts fitted well together. Only a small amount of filler required. Brass bits were a bit tricky mainly due to their small size. The decals went on very smoothly - very impressed.
Another great model added to the growing collection.
It's turned out rather well Chris. An impressive addition to your collection for sure.
That looks rather splendid.
Another model to your normal high standard level
Thanks for the comments chaps.
Looks good!...shame about the box lid scheme though,
go on, get another, if you haven't already got one, that is!
Superb job Chris.
Nice looking helicopter.
Another great helo, well done.
