PhantomLover Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 My sons favorite helicopter is the Chinook, so I had a good excuse to build Revells (Italeri) Chinook HC.1. Also this brings back good memories to the days spent at the fence in Gütersloh, to watch the Harriers of 3 and 4 sqn, and the 18s sqn Chinooks. This is quite a challenging build, especially mating the fuselage halves was tricky. Not to mention the taking pictures without breaking off one of the tiny bits.. Kind regards, Gerben 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 That is a great finish. You don't see too many Chinooks built in this scale and you've done a super job on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Beautifully done Gerben,.... I spent a lot of time flying in the old `Wokka' when they still wore these old colours,...... and you`ve captured the look very well indeed, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Beautiful build, we had a Chinook squadron my first base, one of my Sergeants used to always say, “ Chinooks don’t fly, they just make so much noise the earth repels them.” The first day he said this to me the Chinook squadron had all their aircraft serviceable and did a flyby of the hanger line just to let us all know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where credit is due my friend,.. it is a lovely model. I didn`t fly Chinook`s,...... I flew in them down at the back as a passenger,.... I almost fell out of one once (without a parachute!) but that is another story! I did get to fly a Puma mind you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
