stevehnz Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 That is looking really good Ced, in spite of the hassles, you've done good with it. Now where did I put my Airmodel one. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks Giorgio, Adrian, Roger, Bill and Steve - kind of you all In the RFI now: More cursing this morning fitting the final PE - the main step: Pilot's step and pitot: Note the tiny whisker above the pitot. Can you see it? I know… During the RFI shots she developed a blade droop. hendie was right - even the Araldite wasn't enough. My bodge is to support the droopy blades and squidge some CA in the rotor head: Will that work? Hopefully, fingers crossed 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Thanks Rob I blame you, partly, for making me envious with your great build of the Airfix kit. I hope I can get close to your great result. Thanks to everyone as usual for their support, wisdom and companionship during this one. On to the next: TWO Revell Fortresses.

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The printer acquisition has brought the restart of my Sea King infinitesimally closer, since I think it’s the most likely solution to the rotor head challenge. But don’t get excited yet; 2 P-51s, a P-38 and an aircraft carrier to do first... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
