I started this at least 15 years ago, probably closer to 20. Got as far as starting re-scribing and gave up. Lockdown stash sorting and it re-surfaced. OOB othe than the rescribing and a certain decal.

I'll second biplanes - get into rigging and it's a lot of fun for not a lot of outlay

I built the Dynavector one back in the day - it should still be either in Norwich Air Museum or the RAF Coltishall one. Memories of fitting each vortex generator individually into a small hole I'd drilled

I suppose if both fold you may get away with it. If only one............

725 came back from the SAOEU and went to 54 as GU.

Yes - when they went grey so did the inside of the intake box. The zinc chromate trunking used to get very dirty and stained due to hyd oil / fuel seepage
If you look at Julian's pics in the walkaround section you'll see wht I mean !

Green to the back of the box ( just behind the back aux intake door where the box splits from the fuselage ) then zinc chromate to the engine

Not sure about the last SHAR kill but the last UK air to air is probably XV422 taking out XX963 on 25th May '82.

Nice work!
I worked on these in the California Army National Guard from 66 to 72, although in 71 we started getting CH-47's. They didn't seem underpowered to me, but maybe it was just the ungodly noise two R-2800's made going full tilt in a hover. Here's a picture I took of one in the hover, I was standing behind a parade stand because there were lots of rocks flying. And yes, of course I've built one of the SH kits. I thought the engine nacelles were difficult, like putting an egg shell back together again.
Great picture ! Brings home the power ( also proves the SH tanks are way too long - may have to change them someday )

What a poor-performing, overweight/underpowered beast it must have been in reality. Did we even bother to take these to Vietnam with us, or did we (wisely) leave them in Germany?
Yep - there is a famous picture out there of one trying to lift an H-21 out of a swamp. I know they did a fair bit of recovery work before the newer turbine powered machines appeared
