Thanx Tony, The hassle was to actually see what the pattern looks like as the kit pattern of the Russian and Iraqi helies are different tothe Angolan one.

I messed up the canopy masking as usual, I really should practice more!

The demarcation line on the cammo is way to big in 72 scale, but I was to lazy to mask it of.

great stuff really well built 5* from me , my daughter got me one for fathers day , are there anyproblems with the kit to be aware of?

Hi Alan, no real issues with it. Just check that the wheel well boxes you need to install on the inside of the fuselarge do not fouwl up against the rear cockpit bulkhead. Also add a little leas to the nose, she can be a tail sitter.

Hope you enjoy your build, the come out nice.

Oh yea, I drooped the main blades by hand, they are moulded straight. I simply formed them carefully in my fingers and made a jig to get them all the same. Take note that they do not have a nice constant "bend" in them. They tend to bend more towards the hub (first 1/2) and become less bent towards the tips as the weight becomes less and the bending moment reduces.
