You are moving right along on this helo, Allan (@kalamazoo). I don't build many of them, but I really like the complexity of helicopters. I have a small plastic bin where I put the loose parts for the kit I am building, and still manage to misplace parts all the time. It is a mystery of modern science how this can happen.

Nice paintwork on this interesting scheme, Allan @kalamazoo

Nice paintwork, a really great scheme, my friend @kalamazoo!

Looks great so far, Allan @kalamazoo . I see the mixed masking technique you use along the way is quite similar to what I was trying out with my Lynx (my first completed helicopter ever). Helicopters are a challenge as the shapes and openings are quite different from most other aircraft. I really like those RAAF camo colors and how you did the masking with silly putty(?) or blue tack(?). Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks John, Spiros and Colin, blu-tack, your Lynx looks good, ---------

Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 4 months ago:

Nice fitting of the exhausts, my friend @kalamazoo!

Nice work on the exhausts, Allan @kalamazoo
