Hi Colin
A great choice for a build. This one is very special.

My natural choice for this GB would have been a Sea Harrier, but as you say, BN is quite special.

Well, I’ve opened the box, we’re off.
The plastic looks good, detail is nice. This will be an oob build apart from the winch which was fitted to BN.

I haven’t played with plastic for what seems like ages. But I think I’m getting back into it. I think that’s were 1:72 wins, things can move along quickly.
Tonight, the interior was completed, well nearly.

Hi Colin
You may not have "played with plastic" for a while but you're definitely back into it. That cockpit looks great.

Having played with some 1/72 seeing your cockpit detail is even more impressive now .:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

A cracking start Colin.

Thanks for the input chaps. I'm using my phone for the pictures, just to speed things up. As you can see, I haven't quite got the hang of that just yet. Everything is about 5 x the original size.

However, look what just popped up. It seems BN now lives about an hour away from me.

Colin,
Cracking start mate. I had the pleasure in having a lift in one of these along time ago. I think I am right in remembering there is 18 tons of downwash from the rotors hence their superb lift capabilities.
