Title: HR 3 Dragonfly
Post by: chriswil42 on June 02, 2026, 02:21:56 PM
Started this a short while ago.
The fuselage had to be modified: all the parts are in the kit.

Was this what you were working on at PlayDay?

I did paint a little on the cockpit (yet to photograph), but I did most work on a Cobra (yet to be posted).

Looking good Chris, might be worth having a chat with Jon as he sat in Elvington's Dragonfly when we were attending their model show last year.
He might have some useful info.

All the decals placed. Just a final coat of varnish to add.

Looking very nice and smart.
Will be great to see it with the rotors on.

Now finished. Not my best but it will do. Overall a reasonable kit even thoough the fuselage halves are on the thick side - no locating pins and holes to line up. Decals went on a treat.

A good job. It really looks the part.
That paint scheme suits it to a tee.

One of the most interesting looking helicopters in my opinion.
Beautiful.
