jean Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Truly beautiful Chinook! Congrats!!! I do hope you nephew will not be running around the house with the model, making rotor noises and practicing auto-rotations! He should be delighted though. Well done and extremely thoughtful JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures make it look shiner than it is but with hindsight I probably could have put some more matt on her. Continuous lessons to be taken forward 55 minutes ago, coneheadff said: Niiiiiiice!!!!!

Thanks Ragtag It's 1:72 and the fuselage measures 210mm from nose to tail. Include the rotors and that can increase to 410mm if the blades are pointing each way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovis Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Gotta love the old camo scheme, that's what proper chinooks look like! Outstanding job mate, you've done the kit justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Alan Bardell Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 wimbledon99, no plans of a WIP at the moment - this kit is still part of the 'to build' pile. But I do like the Chinook, once in a blue moon one of these will fly over my place of work (just north of Leicester), and i have to run outside to watch it pass. Always enjoy the sight (and sound) of these passing over!. Best Regards, and keep the kits coming! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix You are very kind Stix - Thank you I'm glad you like her. I'm fixing her to a simple base so that she travels OK and it will make it easier for my nephew to move around.

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for the sale of the kit. I'm now awaiting my nephew's next order!! Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
