Very nice, clever Idea to change it to the prototype and add a wingfold. Pete -
Chinook CH-47C. Italian Army.
Pete in a shed replied to Pete in a shed's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thank you. The minature skis were a bear to fit as well. There were tiny resin bolts that pass through holes in the skis into the wheel hub. The wheels had to be drilled to accept the bolts, it took me ages to get them on.!๐ฅต Thanks for the write up in your reply it was very interesting, quite a stint on Chinooks. With regards to sinking in I think the Chinook in the link below could have done with having skis fitted๐ (right click, open in new tab) https://stmaaprodfwsite.blob.core.windows.net/assets/sites/1/2021/01/110121-RAF-chinoock-stuck-in-mud-c-RAF-Benson.jpg -

Kittyhawk MK I, Special Hobby 1/72 (RFI).
Pete in a shed replied to Andrรฉs S.'s topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Excellent. The finish is just superb for such a small subject, the riviting, the weathering, everthing is just right in my opinion and the clarity of the canopy is amazing. Pete -
Chinook CH-47C. Italian Army.

Yes๐. I seem to have suffered some sort of regression episode while typing๐คช. Thanks for telling me, I'll change it forthwith. Thanks, I found a picture on the internet showing them fitted to an Italian Chinook and thought it made it look a bit out of the ordinary. I had seen them on several modeling shop sites and managed to get some. I think the idea of them is like those snow shoes you can strap to your feet to stop you sinking in rather than to act as a ski. -
Hello all from the shed. First finished model of 2024. So, there I was making Chinook HC1 BN for a friend when crack went the canopy while I was giving it a little polish ๐ง. Nothing for it but to buy another Chinook model for the canopy. As the HC1 was the Airfix kit I thought I would get the Italeri kit for a change. However, it was remarkably similar (in fact identical) to the Airfix one apart from the decals. Just as well I suppose as I was swapping bits between kits. The HC1 built in parrallel has lots of Black Dog resin on it, as I enjoyed using those parts I bought Black Dogs snow shoes for this Italian cab build. I also added a little bit of scratch work in the form of aerials and the decals are a mix of Airfix, Italeri and Model Allience. Its finished using Xtra Color paints and varnishes and is panel lined and weathered using Flory wash and Tamiya powders. Not the best fitting kit but I do like doing a helicopter (two in fact) for a change. I'm looking forward to seing how the new Airfix moulding of the Chinook is in comparison to the old moulds. The model depicts a Chinook CH-47C of the Italian Army. 1 RGPT. โAntaresโ based at Viterbo in 1992. Here are a few pics. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking. Bravo November soon. Pete

Brilliant work. Outstanding amounts of detail that transforms the old kit into something really special. I hope you have a modelling club where it can be shown. Pete

Looks very good considering the decal problems. Yes, I've had problems with authentic decals as well. Pete -

Jet 2 BPK 1/72 737-800
Pete in a shed replied to Olly Tindall's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
A superb finish, not a blemish visible. Great skills. Pete -
Hello all. A build from when I was going through a Mach 2 stage. Like the Caravelle posted a week or so ago the canopy needed hours of polishing to get it clear-ish. All the struts were replaced using plastic rod. The winch was scratch built and the camera ball was from the spares box. other bits were from brass rod or plastic card. Decals from my decal stash apart from the red crosses which I printed. (An aftermarket sheet came out only weeks after I had finished it.๐) Of all the Mach 2 kits I've made this one was the most enjoyable. (if that's the right word.) It depicts a Harbin Z-8 which was/is? used by the Chinese Navy in the SAR, Anti-submarine and Heavy Lift roles. We could really do with an up to date mould of this aircraft as there were quite a few users, with interesting colour schemes to choose from. Here's hoping. Anyway, onto the pics. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking. Pete
