    1/72 Heller, started 02-2022, I found a few errors in the kit with my first build, the tail rotor hits the tail plane and the two rotors hit each other and the engine mount is too high, so a bit of surgery to fix things.

    Great entry and start, Allan @kalamazoo
    Good work on extending the tail.
    Still remember the time when the Netherlands was using those Alouettes.

    An amazing Grasshopper, Allan @kalamazoo
    That was a great helicopter demonstration team from the Netherlands.
    Unfortunatelly the team was abanded after the Alouette III was phased out in 1995.
