    1/72 Bell 47

    I completed this little 1/72 Italeri Bell 47.

    The boom is a little "chunky" but in this scale it might be tricky to mold it thinner.

    Nearly finished mine too. Did you have trouble getting the doors to fit?

      I did not fit the doors, most of the 47's I have seem rarely have them on.

        I'm thinking the same Theuns. I just don't like to be beaten by a mis-fitting part! Everything else on the kit seems to fit fine, although for some parts it was a little difficult to locate the correct place.

            I did have a problem fitting the batterybox assembly behind the engine in the boom, as per plans it just doesnt fit untill I flipped it 180 deg as per the box art and it worked...go figure LOL

                  You cant see it in the pix, that is humbrol dark metalic blue, I was pleased with how well it sprayed on.

                          Beauty build Theuns, and I think the blue scheme works well.

                            U cant see it clearly in the pic but the rest is all silver. The blue I chose it because it matches my wife's blue eyes :-) ....although heres are not metallic LOL
