Just finished this great little kit. I finished it with the 2FTS scheme as I have a very loose connection. Many years ago I spent a week at RAF Shawbury on pre employment course before a posting to a helicopter squadron. The purpose of the course was to introduce ground crew to helicopters, theory of flight and marshalling as rotary wing aircraft weren’t part of the usual aircraft trades trading at Halton or Cosford.
A morning of the course was spent hover marshalling a Wessex with a bright red nose. That’s the connection.
I used tape for seat belts, Eduard masks and Inside the Armour jet pipes.
Irritatingly I only discovered the canopy blooming after masking removal.
I’ve been getting into the habit of keeping notes on each build - does anyone else?
I made a little decal position jig to try and keep the rotor blade sling markings consistent.
