Here's my AgustaWestland AW101 in the colours of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. It's the Revell 1/72 Merlin HC.3 converted by changing the window configuration, plus a few other detail differences. Decals (mostly) custom printed, paints are a mix of Gunze and Tamiya. Build thread is here.

Here’s the 1/100 scale VEB Plastikart Mil Mi-4. It needed a bit of work (WIP here) to bring it up to a reasonable standard. Anyway, I built a little diorama to pay homage to a picture postcard showing some passengers about to board one:

B25-FD461-0435-4751-A530-4-DBC18-ED4-F2-

228-F962-E-EB3-F-4-E0-E-BF39-C100-B90318

8-A8-DBB9-C-1-A1-B-44-A0-8-EA2-721185-D8

 

And for those of you that don’t like dioramas, here it is on a proper base from the other side:

Thanks for an interesting GB and thanks for looking in,

Regards,

Adrian

Piasecki HUP3 Retriever HMCS Assiniboine 1963

My final entry to the Group Build, this is the AModel kit with decals from Printscale. The kit is a fairly short run effort with some vague location points, but has a good level of detail and mostly fits together, although the fuselage needed lots of filler.

WIP is here

Hope you like.

My thanks to the hosts of this Group Build. It has encouraged me to have a go at some of the helicopter kits in my stash and some projects that were a bit more challenging.

Last day completion for me with my Mil 4 Hound from KP. The inspiration was an old Hound sitting at Chernoye, Moscow with various panels off and having been sat outside for probably years, heavily weathered and rusting away, but I bottled out of doing a similar treatment for my model presented here. I used Hi Decal Line aftermarket decals for the very simple and standard Russian AF scheme. Tamiya paints generally, but I went for Sovereign enamel for the underside. Opened up the vents in the nose and used a metal mesh as I felt this was prominent on the real aircraft. I maybe should have opened up the side vents, which I know are an option on other Hound kits. First helicopter for a lot of years and when I came to photograph it I realised it was more difficult than I imagined to get decent pictures.

 

The build if anyone is interested 

Enjoyable GB and, as ever, time always runs away with me, leaving my 2 autogyros unfinished.

 

The pictures:

Airfix 1983 Westland Sea King HAR.3, in turn based on the ancient Sikorsky Sea King kit. Build thread here:

 

If and when I have the time, I'll straighten out the rotor blades, but I've got the newer Airfix kit to finish in the next couple of hours.

Hasegawa 1/72 AH-64 Apache Longbow

 

My humble contribution to the Helicopter / Autogyro / STOVL GB.

 

Nice kit except for the canopy which isn't the best of quality. The main rotor assembly isn't the most stable either, but apart from that I found it to be a fair kit for it's scale.

 

Still some work to be done on tidying up the silver frame around the windows and some weathering as well. But given that the gallery will close in an hours time, I'm happy I managed to finish it within the time frame :)

 

Many thanks to our host, co-host and everyone who participated or just took time to pass a kind comment !!

 

Here's build thread:

 

 

She's not perfect at all. but considering it's my overall second build after picking up on the hobby again, I'm pleased with how she came out:

Hobbycraft Boeing Vertol CH-113 Labrador 1/72

 

Finished in delivery scheme (around 1965) with the aid of Belcher Decals, here the build thread:

I know some details are missing and I will add them in due course, but the main goal to me is achieved since I wanted to model this rare paint scheme.

 

Thanks to the hosts and to all that contributed with their threads and encouraging others in this fantastic group build!
