milktrip Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hello, A few I would like to clear off my bench. First off is a 1/72 italeri Bell 47 which I am building as a Westland built 47-G used by the AAC. I started it in May 2014 and progress was rather good (frustrating and fiddly, but good). It received a bit of damage on a return trip from Telford and sat on my shelf untouched until about 2 months ago. I repaired the damage and got my mojo back and almost completed it but I got too excited and rushed things which ended up in fitting the rotors at too high an angle, and after trying to create a bit of rotor droop ended up bending the blade I have a spare blade which is handy. Granted there is not much left to do on this but after the rotor blade foul up by me, it sat on my shelf again and I fear it will stay there for some time so need the kuta to finish it Second is an S-61N that was part of the seaking group build original WIP here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234975281-s-61n-cn-61143-g-ayom-bea-helicopters-172/ Like above, not much left to do but I just need that incentive to kick start it again. If I manage to finish both the above then I would like to get this one back on track and completed. EC-145 Gendarmerie, part of the French fancy GB earlier this year. original WIP here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234978872-172-ec-145-gendarmerie/ I'd like to finish my current build in the vietnam GB before I start these again, as I don't want to add another build for net years KUTA I wasn't sure if I should keep all the above in one thread or if I need a separate one for each/ i'll keep them all together in here for now unless told otherwise. cheers Aaron 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It would be great to see these finished. On the bent blade, can't it be bent back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks Mish & Nigel. regards the blade, already tried Nigel (hot water and hair drier) but always leaves a slight kink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 It will be great to see these finished Aaron, especially considering the work you have put in. Craig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritag Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Never remember to check the group build pages so missed this. I remember the Bell 47 looking the business at Telford Aaron. I think I'll be checking in to see the Milktrip magic at work. Now - you've got one in the Vietnam Group build as well - off I go...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Great stuff Aaron Are you favouring one over the other 2, say quickest to complete to give you a boost to do the next 2 ? Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Cheers Pat. Yeah, thinking that I'll focus on the Sioux to get that finished first followed by the 61 then the 145. However, I'll probably work on all three at some points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
