    Great choice Allan (@kalamazoo)! Now I can wait a bit before making my 1/48 helo (HMR-161 HR-16) and snatch all the tips and tricks from your build - looking forward to be following along.

    This will be another of your excellent helo builds, I think I did that old Airfix kit of this many moons ago.

    Great choice, Allan (@kalamazoo). This is one of my most favorite helos, along with the UH-1. Plus there are dozens of cool paints schemes. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

    A little bit here, a little bit there - and it ends up as yet another great @kalamazoo build. The engine looks a bit simplified 🙂
    Do you cast the lead or is it just shaped from a block? - I have been thinking of making a "productionline" of lead-nose interiors for the Twin Otter as the type is one I plan to build a few more of one day.
