I have decided to throw another at this GB.
This time one of my favourite helicopter's and in a slightly larger scale witch is more keeping with the scales I want to keep to.
And here's the picsView attachment 302954View attachment 302955View attachment 302956View attachment 302957View attachment 302958View attachment 302959View attachment 302960View attachment 302961

Hi Peter
You don't see many of these built. Looks a nice kit. Great start and I'm sure you will do this proud.

That's one great big banana Peter. Already on a good start.

Cheers,

Looking good Peter.

Never been one for hanging about have you Peter!? That's off to a flyer!

Can you correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this (Piasecki H-21 Shawnee) was known as 'The flying banana':

We used to call them death ships on 230, my five year old calls them flying death bananas.

You'd be right. To me the Chinnok looks like a flying zucchini

Nice start Peter, this looks rather large

 

[rtfoe]

Ya, the Chinnok looks more like a zucchini and the Shawnee is the original flying banana.

Cheers,
Richard

Time for another update I have the cabin sides painted weathered and decals added and the cabin together and the whole lot buttoned up and sanded and almost ready for some paint.View attachment 303350View attachment 303351View attachment 303352View attachment 303353View attachment 303354View attachment 303355

Hi Peter
Good progress. Looks to have gone together well. Interior is nice although it may be another case of 'not too much will be seen'
Jim

 

[flyjoe180]

Interior is looking great Peter. You're zooming along

 

[papa 695]

Looking very good indeed Peter, great work with the interior.

Not on much now Peter, illness etc but nice to pop in now and again and see some great work.

Fantastic work so far mate, love the office details and the inside. As mentioned you do not tend to see many of these knocking about in the modelling work so a refreshing change to see one and being made to a high standard.

This build is coming on well. How many builds do you have on the go at the moment??

To many but some are so big they are being spread out over a few months or In some case one of them had been going for best part of six years

Time for a update this time I have put the wheels on so now it's starting to look like something.View attachment 306993View attachment 306994
