psdavidson Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Here's my (first?) entry Revell's Alouette II Its maiden flight was in 1955, so slap-bang in the middle of the qualifying period The kit dates back to 1996. This one was picked up from the Middle of Lidl a number of years ago Box top and sprues and a small number of (large) clear parts And finally, PE There's no pic of the decals because they've gone AWOL Task number 1 is to find them, otherwise this build is dead in the water ................. More soon(ish) [maybe] /P 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Welcome from me too! I'm guessing that all that PE is going to be highly visible , (just hope you find those decals...) Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I always wanted that kit! Needless to say I didn't buy it the one opportunity I had! Look forward to seeing yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Well, the good news is that the decals were located, hiding under one of the box flaps 24 minutes ago, bianfuxia said: I always wanted that kit!

bianfuxia Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 hey, you're right. Already out in some European stores according to this: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-03804-alouette-ii--1521817 It's the Luftwaffe version; I would have preferred the anti tank one, oh well. It's probably about A$65 here, maybe a bit much I think! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a while back, but mine cost around a tenner from Lidl It's 3 times that now, so I'll skip thie re-issue as well Plastic has been hacked and paint has been dribbled, so we're underway at last More soon(ish) /P 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It's nice to see this one under way Peter (and I'm glad to hear that you found the decal sheet ). Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
