"If you're interested Jon, the company that used to be Whirlybird models ( now air-craft models ) has produced a HAR 9 resin kit."

Cheers Chris, I've seen that Whirlybird / Air-Craft has produced some nice 'classic' helicopter kits. I've just spotted a HAR.9 kit on eBay - for ?50! Ouch...

I know they are not cheap.

All the internals fixed to the fuselage halves rather than the floor as it's getting a new one.

New floor section added.

New nose added. A little bit of filling to do now.

You've overdone the Norwegian tipples again.
Though I can see where you get Huckleberry Hound similarity from.

Got a bit of touching-up to do before masking.
