Royster Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) After spending the best part of 5 months building this I am quite pleased with how it's finally turned out. During my time on the 'Junglie Circuit' I cut my engineering teeth on this airframe: ZF121 from 772 Squadron then I met her up again on 846 Squadron. Where I worked with it in Northern Ireland I hope you like her There are more images but didn't want to swamp all the bandwidth hehe Edited October 21, 2013 by Royster 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim T Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 That is a labour of love. A superb model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Block Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 That is a really really nice build, what, if any, aftermarket did you use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Can almost feel the pain of wire locking the tail rotor control stops whilst lay in the nose bay. Great slant to showing a panel open. Outstanding model, very well done. Woo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Lovely build! From 1994 to 1997 I worked as an AES handler in Belfast, but used to spend a hell of a lot of time onboard on Op Grenada or Interknit, so used to cabby out to the minesweepers on one of those to be winched on for 2 weeks at a time with the trusty hound before being winched off at the end. Loved flying in them and the aircrew were outstanding, they had to be! One to do in my stash, so will be looking at this for pointers. What is the difference between the US tail and the UK tail apart from the stabiliser length? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSAR95 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Awesome build of a helicopter who's day are sadly nearly over in service. Love this scheme and it certainly looks realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGKent Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Really nice KING! (didn't want to swamp all the bandwidth) The same... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royster Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks again all. Greg: The Westland tail is slightly steeper and a little shorter. It might be enough of a difference but whether I perform the same operation given the small difference next time will remain to be seen hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swordfish fairey Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 That is the doggies do-dah's mate, very well done with it.

Started on NASU when they first came into service, then 707 and 846............."Splice the Mainbrace"..........BZ all round................Smudge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
