SHAR67 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Hi all thought i would do something different to my normal stuff planes and add a challenge to it, so here it is. Its the Trumpeter 1/35 CH-47D Chinook and its a scratch building monster as there is nothing on the market to convert her to a current RAF HC2, so this is a time consumer and a patience basher. I will update as soon as i can. Clive Edited April 23, 2012 by SHAR67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This already has characteristics of excellence I like the additional detailing, it spells Great Model to me I will enjoy this immensely bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Lot of fine quality work going on the exterior alone there Clive. Not a fan of those infernal contraptions but enjoy seeing some great modelling in progress so will keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy Builder Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is already looking very good, RAF Chinooks seem to have acquired loads of bumps and sticky out bits over their lives which are never included in standard kits. You've made a great start so I'm looking forward to seeing this finished in all its glory. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAR67 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi all thanks for your interest ,I said things would be slow and they sure are. Got some more of the aerials on aswell as some more lumps n bumps also got the rear gun done yesterday the inside is now starting to take shape but i need to do quite a bit to the interior so thats going to be the time consumer here still here she is. More to come as of when thanks for the comments chaps very much appreciated. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAR67 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi all I said this would be a long topic well here is a little progress. Here I've tried my best to replicate the quilted interior, the quilted material is actually kitchen towel best and nearest i could come up with as a match. Now I have these interior plaques I can now get on with detaillng the interior yipee! Well I hope to have more soon thanks for the compliments and you patient interest.

Jim Saudi Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Whaw! This I like very much. I will be in the model shop next time I'm back in the UK. I got to have a go at one of these. And as they say"Happiness is a Big Chopper" Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAR67 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Hi all Jim thanks for your intrest This is where i'm at now, the interior has been painted and is now ready for some weathering and equipment, i'm not sure if any of you have heard of or have some of the live resin stuff but i have just placed an order with acurate minitures. The resin weapons look the nuts so i'm hoping i will not be disapointed. Any how heres the pictures. Half painted interior. All painted interior. Now the fun starts, I had one of these beasts pass over my house the other night it was no lower than 50 - 100 feet off the roof of my house, it was a site to remember and the rotor wash was like a mild wind very cool. Thanks for stopping by. Clive Edited April 23, 2012 by SHAR67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buccymad Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 looking into the fuselage brought me straight back to the sounds and smell of running into a Chinook for the flight home from Bosnia !! will never forget that flight!! that looks stunning mate,the kitchen roll really works well. it looks spot on to my eye!! looking forward to seeing this one done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Nice to see there's soundproofing quilting inside that beastie The only time I flew in a chokkawokka it was all bare walls and visible framing Mind you this was back in 77 in a US Army CH 47 I should say (sorry) this is becoming a very nice artwork b Edited April 23, 2012 by perdu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
