Last bit to do is the crew chief toolbox.

I also started working on the main rotor, bending the blades and attaching them to the head. Next step will be wiring.

That scratch building is excellent Francesco,

I've built the Pave Low version of this kit, i only scratchbuilt a roof, this puts mine to shame.... Great skills

Thank you for your nice words mates.

I straightened the blades a bit and started cabling the head too. This time i'm trying to avoid copper wire, let's see if it works.

wow nice one Francesco

your eye for detail is really impressive.

maybe the red bag is a fire blanket, or a life raft.

Cheers Richi

The rotor head is going to look great Francesco , a little extra detail added here always makes a big difference, cheers tony

[Guest]

Thank you guys, really appreciate you comments.

@richi

I think you're right, also the color indicates it must be some safety device.

Hope to post more soon

Plumbing ongoing, please forgive me for the bad pic.

I also added the bottom plate and now "carving" hinges on the swash plate.
