Thanks Tony, this week I added the extra bits and pieces to the tail etc, based on the airliner.net photos, and using scrap plastic.

Finished off the Rotor mechanism, and primed it white.

And primed the canopy area grey to match the grey of the cockpit interior

Had great difficulty matching the blue of the photos I have of the SAS Helicopter, after a few attempts, I finally realisted that the blue was a metallic blue, so took a copy of the photo in the picture below to the local Modelzone shop and found a Tamiya aerosol can of TS-19 Metallic Blue, which I think is as close as I will get.

Still to add the top coat of white, and a few other bits and pieces of painting. Cheers Derek

Lovely work Derek, very nice indeed. Got the colours and masking really crisp and they look real close to the photo!

A+ so far!
