Great progress Ian. Enjoying the detail in this build.

Starting to look helicopter shape now Ian, coming along well mate.

I know the confusion multi plans can have, the medstar chopper i'm doing has two main layouts, medstar and police, and the police version has two versions regarding seating etc.

 

[Ian M]

Coming along very nice. When I did the Danish one I had the added problem of correcting a few errors that slipped in. The best thing with all these multiple choice kits is to pick which one to build then go though the instructions with a high lighter pen and highlight the parts that are relevant to the version you are building.

You are doing very well Ian. It almost makes me what to build my other one.
