Whirlybird's HCC.12 Whirlwind Queen's flight

[zak]

Just had to remove the canopy. It was covered internally with a residue - I presume from the superglue. Anyone have a suggestion to stop that happening?

Coat in Johnsons Clear first.
Superglue will fog canopies, but what option is there with a resin kit?

Thanks Dave - I have an equivalent polish. I'll give this a go.

I hope it works.

Now first coat of primer on. A small amount of fettling to be done.

Whilst reading about RAF Benson, where the Flight was /is stationed, in Action Stations Vol 6 I came across a quote by HRH Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother who came to be quoted as saying that 'the chopper' had changed her life as much as it did Anne Boleyn's. Love it!!!

An interesting quote seeing as it would have been quite noisey.

No ready for the detail painting and then decals.

Here it is finished. I had some touching-up to do after applying the white cheat line decal. I'm quite pleased with end result. Finished off with Lucky Varnish - glossy.
