perdu Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 OK I think that is the missing pictures restored, I think I have a problem on my Win10 pc, these just inserted nicely on my tablet. Investigation underway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendie Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 excellent job Bill. Those photos show just how much love and effort you've put into this build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Trying out the rotors and replaced starboard bubble Still milliards of antenna-greeblies going on but also rotor blade painting is on. It is more complicated than the FAA Merlin scheme and will take a while longer. Much to do... Upper door to remake, just so I can find the original.

perdu Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thank you gentles all I am not happy with the white but it is what it is, if I had found another on the web last week I would be redoing from start but this week I hate it less so it stays in play although there is much to do to tidy it proper like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Looks very good to me Bill, but then I didn’t have any of the frustrations building it! I know how you feel matey but it’s still a lovely model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Cheers Chris I am hoping to have a nice looking helicopter at the end of this 'journey' In the pursuit of that end I had my recently ordered yellow 'decal sheet' order in from Big H and have decided to try using it instead of layers of oddball yellow paint on the rotor tips Here we are on top And here underneath I always 'have a 'mare' with painting yellow and the rotor tips are guaranteed to catch the eye and usually look grim if I use paint so this had to be a worthwhile experiment. Did it succeed? YOU are the beholders, whassay? The metal leading edges (of very weird oddball shapes) will be re-touched in later, they aren't staying raggedy. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
