Whatever distance it's a nice build and good to see a dedication. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Wow! Excellent build. Inspires me to try one of these 1/72 copters myself, but your work is first class - I could not improve on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Aer Lingus Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Always nice to see an Irish build impressive interior work Dermot. Both these choppers spend a lot of time overhead my house on way to local hot spots. regards Eamonn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Great piece of modelling there Dermot. Its an aircraft I too see nearly ever day and night.. I was looking for this before but have just found it now - Better late than never but it shows what a great job you've done.. Taken Oct 15.. Looking at me looking at you... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A beautiful model and I was amazed when I saw the pic with it and the Euro, showing how small it is. I initially thought it must be 1/48th. I really like the highlighting of the rivet work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks everyone and really overwhelmed by your reaction to it...it means a lot! I've reduced the height of the main rotor assembly as felt it looked a bit too 'tall' if you know what I mean. Thanks again lads. Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hi Dermot, A subject you don't see everyday - looks great. The spindly details and the white finish make it look realistic. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Very nicely made model, I'm developing a real liking for Irish aviation, there are some great subjects like this! Cheers John (just started on an Aer Turas DC-4, that Irish bug has bitten!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 An exquisite piece of work Dermot - you've caught the essence of that aircraft perfectly there. Each time I'm stuck on the M50 and the guards fly by I shall think of your build! Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
