Nice Rick, I assume it'll be ready to show at the weekend.
Hopefully. It’s had a sealing coat of varnish over the decals, next task is a pin wash into some of the seam lines. I’ll try and concentrate on the panels that open rather than the butt jointed skin panels that are fixed. It’s a personal preference, but I think it more realistic that access panels that are opened often (and there are many on a Chinook) should be highlighted this way.Nice Rick, I assume it'll be ready to show at the weekend.
Seeing the width of the blades you can see how it got its nick name of Woka -Woka!!! The real ones used to scare me. All that inter-meshing!!! Shudder!
I’ll look forward to your build Tony and offer any advice you need. My experience on Chinooks was rather limited to say the least with only two cabs compared to fifteen Pumas the bulk of my efforts were elsewhere.Just catching up rick , excellent work , it looks fantastic . I really must start the 1/48 one in the stash , when I do I’ll be bugging you with lots of daft questions ! Cheers tony
Nice Rick - very nice. Good luck in the show.Masking off. Just adding the delicate bits that are easily knocked off…like the wheels!
Both of the rotor head are done and ready to fit. I still have the HF aerial masts and pitots to fit.
The ramp is done and ready to install including some plastic rod to mimic the ramp actuator pistons.

Love to mate but Stoke is a tad too far for me these days!!!This is just about finished, it’s been set aside for the glue to dry then a quick check for any minor touch up.
Come and see it at IPMS Stoke this weekend.
Oh no, I’m not entering any competitions - not at that level.A really super job - don't forget to spray some underarm foo-foos inside - I remember it well! (And they said we 'ponged'!)Good luck in the Comps mate.
