For a change a relatively simple resin kit.
Main fuselage assembled -3 parts so far.
Finished by tomorrow then?

Only if he's eating the same breakfast cereal as you.......Hahaha
No finished by tea time, he is on double weetabix
I don't think so.
I see there's a tail skid to help stop tail sitting so that's a bonus. I don't remember seeing this helicopter before so looking forward to the build.
Main rotor assembled - each blade is pinned with 0.4mm wire into the hub.
Cockpit painted. Now onto the cockpit vacform glazing; this could take a while.
Nice delicate work on the rotor blades and their pinning.
Coming along nicely.
Some small progress trying to assemble the glazing. Very fiddly with three vacformed parts getting to fit together and attach to the fuselage.
I know the feeling, but you'll get there in the end.
Looks tricky work.
Finally got the undercarriage on. Lots of filling and sanding to do around the glazing yet.
Lots of delicate handling and sanding to do. Coming together nicely.
The tailwheel looks a bit flimsy, hope it stands up to travelling.
Just about ready for the decals.

That'll pretty it up. Looking good nonetheless.
Finished. The kit fought me a bit of the way. Not perfect by any means but it will do for me.
Super Chris.
Don't think there will be many of these on modelling tables at shows, truly unique.
Very nice work.
Thanks for the comments Kevin. As a model it does appear to be quite rare.
Excellent model Chris.
