I have decided to throw another at this GB.
This time one of my favourite helicopter's and in a slightly larger scale witch is more keeping with the scales I want to keep to.
And here's the pics[ATTACH]302954[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302955[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302956[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302957[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302958[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302959[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302960[/ATTACH][ATTACH]302961[/ATTACH]

Hi Peter
You don't see many of these built. Looks a nice kit. Great start and I'm sure you will do this proud.

That's one great big banana Peter. Already on a good start.

Looking good Peter.

Never been one for hanging about have you Peter!? That's off to a flyer!

Can you correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this (Piasecki H-21 Shawnee) was known as 'The flying banana':

We used to call them death ships on 230, my five year old calls them flying death bananas.

You'd be right. To me the Chinnok looks like a flying zucchini

Nice start Peter, this looks rather large

[rtfoe]

Ya, the Chinnok looks more like a zucchini and the Shawnee is the original flying banana.

Cheers,
Richard

Time for another update I have the cabin sides painted weathered and decals added and the cabin together and the whole lot buttoned up and sanded and almost ready for some paint.[ATTACH]303350[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303351[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303352[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303353[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303354[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303355[/ATTACH]

Hi Peter
Good progress. Looks to have gone together well. Interior is nice although it may be another case of 'not too much will be seen'

Interior is looking great Peter. You're zooming along

[papa 695]

Looking very good indeed Peter, great work with the interior.
