Really enjoying this kit. A little bit of space for some minor scratch work.

Nice.
How did you get the black/red shading? Very effective.

Was this using lead wire?
Lovely job :thumb2:

Cheers John. The red was just a very thinned red over black primer. Yeah lead wire, but so frail it was a bit if a pain threading it through.
Well done. Great details.
Thanks Paul
Great start, and great work on the engine.
Cheers Ian
That's a great start. Really neatly painted.
Thanks Jim. A lot of back and forth with the airbrush but I'm happy so far.

Rest of the steps were fairly dull, so skipped them for you...and gone straight to the primer stage:

This really is a fantastic kit with amazing engineering. A few details can be added, wiring, seatbelts etc, but great detail already. There was a fairly significant part missing (the main part for the Longbow radar) but I've emailed John so hopefully he can help.
 
Very nice. I stood next to one once - surprised at actually how large a helicopter it was having only seen them from a distance prior.
Enjoying watching this one!
 
Thoroughly enjoying following this thread. Beautiful work.

John has also very kindly sorted out the part that was missing for me.
