Hockeyboy76 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Enough teasing, As @Col. likes a personal touch (it’s not annual bun fight yet), I road moved loads of Chinooks and spent lots of time over the “Dark side” of RAF Odiham at 7Sqn. I may as well build this anniversary bird. No other choice of decals and as I always say, “everything looks cool in a camo wrap” 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 A Chinook loaded on the trailer being restrained before a road move to RAF Brize Norton Loaded at RAF Brize Norton, waiting for clearance across the airfield to the back gate under RAF police escort. Then the detour route of the A40 and the Foss Way to Cirencester. That’s why we have a civvi police escort of two cars and bikes. IIRC this was a double move. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I know the Chinook has a bad reputation for not liking certain types of weather but its a bit embarrassing having to take it by truck with the crew following behind in a mini bus ! Can "Little H" be persuaded to join us in this GB ? Cheers Pat 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Nice subject choice Craig. Pity there isn't a suitable kit of your lorry in the scale to add this one to for a true personal touch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has had her eye on my Snow Harrier since I built it in the “Kit you built as a Kid GB”. We shall have to have a rummage through the stash to find one. There’s plenty of Harriers in it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great choice though H, a true classic in the helicopter world. Don't worry though @Col., I will be along soon with something decidedly Minion related!!

Hockeyboy76 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 After a “few” domestic jobs that needed doing?!, there was time to hide away in the man cave at the bottom of the garden. A little progress The blue band is Hum25, but it’s not dark enough. I think I will use the blue I used for the ETPS Gripen I built in the Nordic GB. The green has had a second coat, then it will be time for the Matt black bottom. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
