Looks like some sort of undercover operations aircraft, almost stealth.

That was quick.

I agree.

You could say that even though the engine and rotors were the same as the S55.

Good progress Kevin. Looking good.

Looks good Dave. You've cracked on with that one.

Almost ready for primer.

Grey paint applied.  Next up the detail painting followed by the decals.

Quote from: zak on January 12, 2025, 10:04:35 AMWe buy a model to build, we complain about the price, but do we then consider all the extras needed to build it?

Tools, paint and glue?

This kit has so far required the following paints:
White - gloss and matt
Black -   "    "   "
Red   -   "    "   "
Tan
Plasma red
Silver
Blue green
Gold
Washes of various colours
Ink - black
Klear
Thinners

And glue:
Superglue
Tamiya cement
Tamiya Extra thin
Revell Contacta
PVA
Filler

Then tools as well.
So if you were just starting out, quite a daunting list!
Luckily most items are useful for other models.
So, I reckon, even without buying extras, just to build from the box, you probably double the price of the kit.

This list looks like a 'Barney's Bits List' from the last meeting.

First coat of gloss paint.
