Here's my entry.
As usual, it will be O.O.B.
Plenty of different colour schemes for it too.
Cheers.

Hi Ron
I don't remember you doing a helicopter before but my memory ain't the best. I have a wife to remember things for me :rolling:
I'll sit by John and enjoy watching you work your magic.

A nice machine.
Looking forward your build (und Bilder... :smiling4: ).

Glad to have you boys along.
Should be a cracking group build.
Jim. I made my first chopper, an Apache Longbow for Ian's (papa695) Heli. G.B., which we did on here back in 2018.
Under starters orders
The flag is raised!

I suspect that today will be rather like an Army medical Inspection, with the Squaddies all lined up showing their choppers off!
So, stood at the end of the line, I give you my chopper!
On opening the box, I was surprised at how 'Basic' the kit seems to be. This suits me fine, as I didn't want a complicated model. To me this model making lark is fun, not hair tearing frustration.
....and if any rivet counters think for one minute, I going to stick all this lot on, I respectfully suggest you all give this build a very wide berth.
Cheers.

For a 1/72 chopper that sure is a heck of a lot of decals even I wouldn't attempt it.
Nice model, but rather a lot of fiddly decals.
Fear not chaps, I'm not that daft as to try and use them all.
I'll just use ones I can see. Which is about a dozen!

Nice one Ron.
Did not know which of the two threads you started to delete so I merged them....Just say if you are building two!

Thanks Ian.
I hate green plastic as much as red, so the first thing I've done is brush on another colour - Any colour!
I chose white simply because it's the colour I have most of.
Now the dog can see the rabbit, I can start to glue the model together.
Cheers,
Ron

Oooo…Winter Camo already….
Hi Ron,
Looks a cool style of Chopper
As for the decals.... We'll, that's just ludicrous !!!

Thanks for the input boys. :thumb2:
I've finished the cockpit.
The model will be 'flying', so as there is no crew with the kit, I will have to source some. Hence my leaving the seat belts alone.
As most will hardly be seen under the canopy, it's pointless me being fussy with the painting etc.
There is a bulkhead to fix where those tabs are, so no need to be neat at the floor colour demarcation.
Cheers and thanks for looking in.

Hi Ron
Your modelling philosophy does you proud. Only just started and already we have discarded 90% of the decals, slapped on white paint 'cause you had a load and kept the mods on their toes by starting two threads.
Oh what fun and the modelling is first class as always

That's only because 570 you said you hadn't any ! Also If you stick all those decals on you won't need to paint either.I suspect that today will be rather like an Army medical Inspection, with the Squaddies all lined up showing their choppers off!

Good Day 453.
Thanks chaps.
I don't understand why I ended up with two threads. I thought I'd posted the first in the 'Chat' section and the second was supposed to be the actual build thread.....Hey ho!
Good thinking 453. The trouble is I can't see them. - The decals, that is!:flushed:
