I think it a great first build. Never had a go at a helicopter myself. Nice subtle weathering and, if I am not mistaken, a Koala bear climbing your lamp.......

 

[Gern]

I gotta agree with Richy. That's a cracking start for a brand new modeller! Well done Sam and welcome to the forum.

thank you soooooo much guys, I really enjoyed making it. At the moment i'm making Revell's Eurofighter but unfortunately the weather here in Hull meen's my Airbrush freezes up after 2 minutes :/ so i'm just on hold i suppose. I'm using Airbrush Propelant but it freezes so quickly, Would a compressor make a difference? and hahahaha Fenlander i wondered if anyone would notice the Koala

A compressor will make a world of difference, the only problem is you'll run out of models before you run out of air. If this is your first kit then you've done a great job on it, looking forward seeing some more.

Take care, John

hi sam ,great job on the chinook, nice paintwork.looking forward to the typhoon. cheers tony

 

[Guest]

Nice one Sam

Have to disagree with you and Fenlander, don't think Koala's have tails, and they're definitely not bears.

Chinook is awesome! Love the rotor hubs, spot on, and the weathering over the decals, nice touch. Quick tip, try standing the cans of air in water. That can get you a bit of extra pressure if you're running low on air too.

Thankyou everyone, Hahahahaha Tony B ure right it's a kangaroo

 

[Guest]

Whoops didn't spot the tail and yes, I know that Koalas are not bears but when you are as old as me, you would have known them as Koala bears since being a child, just after they discovered Australia....... Anyway, what's a Kangaroo doing climbing up a lamp???? Oh yes, you are quick to accept that are you not :lol:

 

[Guest]

Thats a damn fine first model,

 

[spanner570]

Well done Sam, a cracking first model....

I am sure there are people seeing it and perhaps remembering their first model and how it probably had it's one way maiden flight down the garden!

This debut model of yours would stand proud on any shelf.

Congrats.

^^I remember being a kid, so about 8 years ago, haha, but I do remember blowing a few of them up with fireworks. Ah the memories.

Great job on the model mate. Don't blow it up, it's waaayyy too good for the fate that my first few faced.

 

[Guest]

Hahahahaha thnks for the advice Bojo, I'll avoid fireworks then People don't take kindly to fireworks were i live anyway, Miserable people suck :/

 

[Guest]
