    Ooooo....
    Just found this thread and liking it

    Is this an old kit or is it back in the airfix catalogue?

    Always had an idea of whatiffing one of these into an raf gunship type of thing
    Per Ardua

        It’s a re-release Paul in the Airfix vintage range.

            Great to see this going again Ian! Quirky little thing and you have really done a fine job on it. Your last pic above makes it look like a submarine in a Sci-Fi movie. You'd never know it was, what it really is...

            Prost

                    Once again, the temptation to do a SpaceFleet one rears it's head...

                        Great stuff!! I have one, didn't really know what to expect from it really, now I know!

                        Miko (it does look a bit like a submarine right now, especially if it was painted yellow!)

                            I quite like this, glad someone is making it. I did make one when I was in my teens. I thought it was very revolutionary at the time.
                            It's coming along nicely Ian.

                                It's a 'Classics' re-issue

                                Kaman in the US wanted to licence-build them, do a USMC or Air Cav in Vietnam would be just as likely
                                Hmm, or steal parts out of the new Chinook. A Mk.X HC.5 in Afghanistan...

                                    Don't know what to say Ian thats one bad bag of plastic but thumbs up for kicking arse ,might be easier to build the next one as a pile of wreckage just a thought. Dave

                                        I appreciate you building this model Ian, it tells me that I don't want to even attempt it. :smiling2: You are doing a fine job of it though, well done.
                                        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
