perdu Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi, is there a chance of having the nose cone that you have been working on for a Norwegian AW101 please? The nose design you have shown is far better than I can do and I would love to have the 1/72nd scale version Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't split. That cover is one whole unit so if you depict the APU shown there to be correct you will also have to have the #2 engine bay open. You cant have just the APU bay open!
