Last year there was a helicopter group build and I was going to enter this kit. However, I realised that I did not really have sufficient information to make the model to the standard I would like and withdrew from the GB. Now with my SH-34 finished I am looking for another helicopter for an in depth build, I always like to have one on the go. Over the past year or so more information has come my way and more aftermarket stuff become available and now feel that the time is right to finally start this kit.
The model will be built as an Indian Navy machine, using Bergamot decals. I shall be opening up the weapons bay, mostly because it is a very unusual feature on a helicopter and adding the sonar and winch. I may or may not open up an engine bay, I haven't quite decided how I feel about that yet.
Here are some pictures of the raw materials and thanks for looking
