Excellent - I'll gladly take that. I've got one on pre-order and am looking forward to building my first helicopter since my brother and I did a Sea King in about 1992.

I'm hoping Airfix get this on the go soon; I flew in XR505 as a cadet, and am keen to build it as it was in 1994/5.

That's a great job on a really nice kit. The finish is superb.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the echoes of the stable door banging firmly shut, long after this GB's nag has bolted, been found with a broken leg, shot, turned into Evostik and been used to put the soles back on your Nana's flip flops - but the build is done! More photos later; I might do an RFI as the GB finished many moons ago and this one's not eligible for the gallery. Thanks very belatedly for hosting, @Col., and I'm sorry that life got in the way of completing this on time. Cheers, JRK

Wow, she's looking great, James. I love the cast texture.

Brilliant!

Brilliant - glad to have you on board!

Good to have you on board, chaps!

Oh god, the fabled "helicoptering"....!

Yeah, but surely there's some willy-waving between the various proposals?!

Well, I'd better put you on the list, then....!

@Enzo the Magnificent, can you add us to the hall of shame, please?!

Thanks lads - I'll add you to the list! Boom! Bun fight here we jolly well come!

Excellent - three more entries on the (black)list!

You boys are very welcome, and you're on the list!
