It's coming along slowly.
Canopy and undercarriage now fitted. The tail rotor blades were too long and too wide so had to be trimmed to the correct size before fitting.

Finally finished the main rotor assembly. This was a bit tricky.

Some decals on. I'm glad I didn't rush this for the club meeting. I had some remedial work around the cockpit glazing to do. I dislike vacform glazing. We'll see how it turns out when I remove the masking.

The worst thing about vacformed canopies is when the frames are not defined enough. Then it is working on a wing and a prayer!

Should that be "On a rotor and a prayer"?

Finished at long last!  I think I'll give resin kits a miss for a while. At least I can display it at the next club meeting.
