Going to start this one, it shouldn’t take too long to build. Not many parts.

Interesting little kit there Ian! Should be a tiny, fun build. I read through Roden's history and have to wonder why they didn't state what happened to the Observer in the ones that crashed. I imagine he would have to be an excellent long jumper to clear the blades to use his parachute. I bet most of them ended up as hamburger meat!!!. They also don't state what altitude it could reach on the tethers, so the Observer's parachute could open if he got past the rotors.........I'm in for this...

Prost

Nice to have you aboard Allen. They didn't get into service use. they did have numerous trials but it didn't seem to work right with a few crashes and fatalities. So if I make a hash of it I'll just build it crashed.

Got some sub assemblies done, and started to paint the engines.

Now that's unusual Ian. The kit looks to consist almost entirely of small, fragile parts. Should make construction fun :rolling:
It will be interesting to see how it goes.
 
Ah great.... Saw this on "Latest acquisitions" the other day and thought then,"I'd like to see that one built"..... and now you are :thumb2:
