jrlx Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hi pierpaolo, Welcome to the GB! Great choice and this is the first amphibian helicopter of the GB! It's also one I have in the stash and I also intend to build it with the Eduard BIG set (not in the GB but some indeterminate time in the future...). I'm looking forward to seeing your build taking shape and I'll follow it with great interest. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierpaolo Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Hi Unfortunately I can not finish my project. I had to think about my health and the cure of the diabetes that they had diagnosed a couple of months ago. diabetes was also the cause of the sharp decline in vision that I had noticed by building the latest models. The emergency has passed and now the values of blood sugar are stable, I can resume with the activity, however, having never stopped thinking about modeling (and buying models) This is the point where I arrived https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4643/25533499728_8df6c9df8a_b.jpg Edited December 31, 2017 by Pierpaolo pic addiction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi Pierpaolo, Terribly sorry for knowing about your health problems I'm glad your treatment resulted and you are better now. I hope you manage to keep things stable. Don't worry too much about not being able to finish your build in the GB. There are more important things and you can always get back to an interrupted build. Wish you all the best and a Happy New Year! Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
