Chinook Ch-47J 1/48 Italeri
When my daughter asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I said - buy me a model and innocently added which one you like. And she got this... a helicopter. I don't build helicopters, I don't understand them and I don't understand why they have the propeller in the wrong place. But a gift is a gift. The kit is nice, the interior is very nice, but since I chose the Japanese version, it took me two months of torture before I managed to paint it to my liking.
Great job Josef. It's nice to see a colorful Chinook for a change.
Sincerely,
Scott
The JSDF snake camo is one difficult scheme to paint. It looks good.
Well done your daughter! Took you right out of your comfort zone and you rose to the challenge. It's a brilliant helicopter.
Die sieht aber super aus, Josef @joeross. Das japanische Farbschema ist super gelungen!
A very nice gift from your daughter, Josef @joeross
And you did a great job on the camouflage scheme as well.
Really nice. Your daughter has good taste
Excellent Chinook, Josef!
I don't get helicopters either, but this one is a joy to behold.
Can't say no to a daughter bearing birthday presents! A great result to all your work on this.
A beauty! I can see why you chose that scheme - it really is a great scheme!
