Alouette gentille Alouette III *FINISHED*
Re: Alouette gentille Alouette III
Today I continued with the floAtation bags.
In the kit you can find something like this, as is the case with me, I have another Alouette which will serve as spareparts source for something else, so I could snatch that piece as well
Trimmed them
Used some leftovers
And I think the airframe is about 80% ready
Just need to add some little stuff and it well be ready for the paintshop.

Re: Alouette gentille Alouette III
And I finished my Alouette III today.
Everything went as planned on this one, no glitches, nothing.
A breeze to build.
I assembled everything before painting
Sprayed some navy blue
Removed the paintmasks
And prepared for decals
And final assembly and photos
Must say, it was a splendid GB.
Should I build another?

That's come together very quickly and looks very spiffing. Will make a lovely pair with the Seabat.

Oh yes, they look great together, the Wessex/Choctaw is a surprisingly large chopper.
I remember a liqueur store here, had one in their car park as advertising for a while (don't ask me what the thinking or link there is between the two, not obvious to me), and I stunned by how huge it was.
