    Allen you've seem to the master builder of all things that have wings going in circles. I've only build one chopper, a CH-47, and I don't remember it being a lot of fun. I do have a OH-13 Sioux in the stash so I may try doing another one. You really do excellent work on these.

    Thanks Tom, have a go, although I think they may not be the easiest to build, I have a couple to do in 1/72 !

    That my friend is some amazing decal work ! It sort of reminds me of the B-24 "A Dragon and his Tail" with the art work going down the whole side of the airframe...

    Thanks Louis, you're right, they do look good, the rotor now needs a bit more paint on the hub !

    Fantastic chopper, Allan. How were the decals to fix? Difficult?

    Thanks Ferry, ---------------

    Thanks David, the decals are a little thick with the different layers of color, put on with Future as usual and some help from Mr Mark Softer and a pointy stick in places !

    Hello there Allan. Any updates on the rotor ?
    From what I have seen with the rest of the building it's going to be fantastic !
