discussion Peter's Helicopter GB Chat thread

[Ian M]

I'll just start the ball rolling on this one by saying Well done Peter for getting this off the ground and thank you for all those that have joined so far. Feel free to just jump in if you wish to join in the fun.
As a reminder:
Please keep chat on topic.
You may open your own build thread and please remember post the box art and sprue shots of the UNSTARTED kit.
You can post (your) build relate preamble but not building allowed until the start date.

Having gotten that out of the way I will hand this off to Peter to welcome you all and out line "the rules"!

Have fun.

Welcome you mad bunch and thanks for making this possible.
The rules are build a helicopter any size scale no limits even the Russian contra rotators are welcome.
All I ask is that you post sprue shots before starting.
Other than that have fun.

[simontie]

This is mine, not here yet & undecided about the resin detail parts available
rotor assembly, exhaust & intakes

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Firstly..... are the crews classed as part of our builds,or is it purely "Helicopter only"?:thinking:
Secondly.... Simon,those resin bits certainly do look excellent,did you decide on getting them?
I`m looking forward to the start of this GB!!:thumb2:
