    Joe's Airfix 1/72 Boeing Chinook HC.1 - Logistics GB

    It was a great kit to build - maybe you should try one to see for yourself.

    1/72 Airfix Sea King gift set. First post.

    I’ve built one of these and two of the HC4’s in 1/72 scale. They’re really nice little kits but not without their “gotcha’s”; happy to see you dodged the HF aerial layout trap in the instructions. Like others, the 1/48 scale HAR3 can’t come soon enough for me.

    Top Notch paint masks - how to use?

    I tried posting a photo on one of my threads earlier. At first I got the file too big message but a second attempt was successful. This is the screenshot of that photo with the file size if it’s useful John

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HC4 Gulf War

    I have been building stuff. Out of the box with etched seat belts. Not as detailed as the HAS5 I did a few years ago but a bit more weathering this time. Still waiting for the HAR3 version to be released, fingers crossed for the 14th Jan. Apologies for the lousy photos. Come and see it at IPMS...
