It's been calling me for some time so it's time to bite the bullet
Here is what I have go to play with.
And I am torn between these two schemes
I have never worked with resin so time will tell how I get on.

Just pulled up my chair Peter, I do like the colour of the first scheme, but it’s your choice.

 

[Sjors]

That will be one nice big bird Peter!
I'm in

 

[peterairfix]

I do like the colour of the first scheme

I have been leaning to that one as well

 

[Nicko]

Good luck with that one Peter...

I've not heard of Fly before. Looks a comprehensive kit. Not many include resin parts. It will be interesting to see what it builds like

 

[peterairfix]

Fitted the internal ribs the cabin is rather sparse so I will see what I can do in the way of scratching
The nose has been joined to main body with not much in the way of a seem
And the first pe parts to be fitted

 

[boatman]

I like the spinach and sand. That's going to be a big girl.

I have forgotten about this one until I found it lurking at the bottom of the the stash I have put some more of the cabin walls in and tried a bit of scratch to add a bit of detail to the interior but what I have done is the limit of my skills

 

[peterairfix]

Now started on fitting the interior seats witch come as fabric sheet and needs to be cut out.

 

[papa 695]

Nice to see you back at this one Peter. A very nice start too.

 

[peterairfix]

Built up the resin rotor head

Seats are finished and installed in the cabin.

Interesting that the seats are fabric. However, I think I would mix up some paint to match their colour, and the seat belts too, to touch up the white edges. It’s not that obvious on the seats themselves, but at the very least for the seat belts, as the edges on them just draw all the attention.

Fair point. The seat belts were a very close colour to the seat base.

I forgot I had this one until came across it a box so I have pulled it out and done a bit more here are some of the parts I done including resin as well

Slow but steady work Peter.
