Airfix 1/7 Gazelle


Recommended Posts

I saw one of these on a friend's page, and wanted one for my collection.  The kit was dated 1978...not my favorite year, but thats another story.

 

Built OOB all decals are from the blister pack.  Painted with MM enamels and tape seat belts added.  This is #13 for the year.

Alpha Delta...I drilled the skid's "holes" a bit deeper and added weight to the cockpit behind the seats where it was hidden.  I had to re-glue one side of the skids 3x to get it to stay.  Not an easy build, but then again its 1978 technology.

Hi Les,

You have produced a nice model from old technology. As the real Gazelle sold very well you could have made options from various Air Forces too. A great workhorse but I would like to see a more modern kit available - we can only hope ha ha. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers:drink:
