Harold55 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have two AMP helicopter kits in my stash awaiting my attention. Yours turned out great so this give me hope. Love the blue color! Hard to paint to look this good. Nice pictures too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonners Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 That looks great, Michael. Nice one. I would love to have a go at flying a Sycamore (not much chance of that!), as it was such a quirky machine and so very different from modern helicopters. The nearest I've got has been sitting in a cockpit in a museum. I'm not sure that I'd feel entirely comfortable being held up by wooden blades, though!

Angus Tura Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Michael, Thats beautiful. Especially the modulation/shading in the paintwork. That is so easily overdone, but I think it's just right, Congratulations on this, Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Superb helicopter with a dream finish! Is the main rotor folding mechanism included in the kit or did you scratchbuild it? Anyway, it not only looks good but makes the model easy to display in the vitrine. Impressive work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
