              HI all well i dont beleive it as victor meldrew said
              got to take it easy now as getting old now never thought id get this age nr 70 an i keep foggeting things as im a bit angry with myself as i went an bought that seaking chopper for tiger an did all that fiddley work of fitting in a motor only to find out yesterday that i had already bought a seaking kit with a motor fitting atttechment all built in by airfix all i had to do was just push the motor into the fitting an it would have saved me all that fiddley work i did but well at least the motor is in ok but yes bought the kit 2 yrs ago but i had forgotten about it an it was hidden away in a cuboard Aaaaaaaaaacccchhhhhhh cant win an then i needed the decals for that period on the chopper so sent for some only to find i had them already in my other kit what a plonker i am anyway such is life eh all anyway now ive calmed down after that incedent im fitting in the choppers landing lights so onward an up

                Hi Chris
                Getting older certainly makes remembering difficult at times. I can go up stairs and when I get there forget what I went for in the first place :rolling:
                The helicopter is superb and I'm glad the motor works as it should.
                Keep at it, the end is in sight :thumb2:
                Jim

                    Chris and Jim, I can totally relate my friends, and agree that getting is not all it's cracked up to be.
                    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                        HI ALL well on with the chopper build now i think i have committed sacrilage here as i think you guys who make your models true to the real thing will think this but its to do with the slidein door on this seaking as i want it to open an close so ive fitted 2x 2mm tiny channell rails on the chopper so the door can slide back an forth so open an close but when its all painted up in a dark blue i dont think it will notice much as i dint want to just glue it in postion anyway here it is in the closed postion Click image for larger version
