heloman1 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Excellent work Orion, it's a super scheme to build this subject in and I do like the floded blades.. When I built mine, I used the 'White Swan' Japanese KV kit and built it as a Swedish SAR cab. I have another in the stash though. I do like the folded blades.

Spad Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Ooh I love that! So many questions though. Like, is ther emuch after-market in there? How did you do the folded rotors? Are those OOB decals? and so on - in short, I suppose, really like that piece of work, is there a WIP anywhere? Thanks for showing!

stevej60 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 That,s a superb build and finish and in 72 scale too looks much bigger! that,s inspired me to start my Hobbyboss kit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) For Spad, The decals are Super Scale Decals number 72-120. Eduard has the cockpit etsch set. The search light is self build The rotors are cut at the right place, sturdy thin steel wire in both ends, so that you can push the long end around to the right position. The CH46 has hydraulic wingfold, so a push at the button and everything starts moving around.
