It is that. I had to get the attachment right or it would have had a kink in thr fuselage.

Will not say you could then join somebody else we know and produce kinky models - hohhohoho

Sometimes it pays to join the two halves down one side together before joining the two halves of the fuselage on long bodies. But it looks loike you got there in the end, well done.

Rotors assembled.

That's a really sizeable rotor.

About 18 inches diameter.

Undercarriage and gondola fitted. This bit was one leg at a time.

It looks like you've managed to get it to sit correctly. Spindly legs are always a bind. (No comment please Martin).

What do you take me for Chris - hohohhoo

Bigkev · February 05, 2024, 08:04:00 PM

Good work on the undercarriage Chris.
Going to look good with a coat of paint.

Now ready for masking. This could take a while.

Indeed. Patience and a sharp blade will see the day.
