That looks like a beast of a helicopter. Nice work, watching with interest.

Thanks for taking and posting the pictures.
Looks like I missed a great night with some superb models on show.
Congratulations to Jon for winning the competition with another scratch built masterpiece.
See you all next meeting after my holiday in glorious Somerset.

And a Brown bushy tail......!

Hi Chris,
A conversion to an Italeri kit? looking at the resin parts.
Should be an interesting build.

Now there's a thought..........
Wonder if Jon will pose for me, hahaha.

Hi Chris,
Thats an oldie, but I think you'll beat it into shape with a bit of TLC. When you look at the newer offering you can see how much better kits are now to then.
Watching with interest.

Hi Jon,
That's absolutely fine with me, thanks.
Also,  it will be nice to hear first hand of some of those 'interesting moments' you've had in them.
Looking forward to catching up in July.
Kevin

Hi Jon,
Well its nice to know that I can say I know the pilot that flew that one!
'Blobs', well no doubt the kit will be wrong in places and some things wrong place/omitted but I'll try to do a reasonable job.
As to log books, I'm definitely interested but I won't be at the May meeting as I'm on holiday in Somerset, so I'm hoping to visit either FAA Museum at Yeovil, or The Helicopter Museum at Weston Super Mare or both.........
So, could I ask for a raincheck on the log books and any pictures until June meeting?

Hi All,
Just a picture of where I am now after just a couple of hours at the desk. I have applied filler to the sink marks on the interior, and got the floor and bulkhead fitted. The floor has a number of inspection panels which differ in colour to floor in general. So, I played around with my circle cutter to make some internal and external masks for this later on.
Hope to get more bits stuck together and prepped for painting over next few days. 

Bet your wallet is happier at that.....  

Hi All,
Been absent from posting for too long. After an unexpected trip to Doncaster Aeroventure, my interest has been rekindled.
Made a start on this model. I intend to make it more or less from box, with a few detail additions as I go along.
Might need some advice from Chris (our helicopter Guru) if I get stuck or pitfalls to watch out for. Also, need to make as good as a job of it as Jon, our resident ex-RAF Helicopter Pilot will easily spot any 'Blobs' in the build. No pressure then..........
Some pictures to follow tomorrow.
   

Fierce some looking Cobra.........
Another one to the growing collection., nice work, looks great.

Thar she blows........
Nice work.

Looks really nice despite the problems with the decals.
Are you on a 'Luftwaffe' spree now?

Now that's a nice looking Junkers.

Well done.
