My first LF Models build. Mouldings look ok. We'll see how it goes together.

Hi Chris,
That looks good.
Didn't something like that feature in that film with Mickey Rooney 'Bridges over the River Kwai' or similar?

Looks like this could be a tail-sitter?

Good point you've made. I'll have to be careful.

Slow progress with this one  - a fair amount of small brass parts. The mouldings are quite thick but the detail on the fuselage is reasonable. The plastic is a little soft - presumably low production runs similar to Amodel.
The photo shows the cockpit assembly with all the brass bits prior to painting.
The glazing is crystal clear.

Nice cockpit detail there.

Looks like you're becoming a 'Wiz' with the etched brass.

Looks like Haddock has a good protege in you, Chris.

I don't know about that. It takes a while to put togther with the tweezers. At least the brass bits have not pinged off into the middle of nowhere.

Fuselage together with some filling done.
A few more bits of brass etc to go yet for the rotor hub.

For some strange reason I always liked their shape.
