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.
