Martin's Belvedere

Our 3rd helicopter GB .... odd for a Forum that favors airplanes that actually fly and not those gangly objects that must instead be flown ....

Back form Telford and on with the build. I had hoped to get on with it sa soon as I returned but unfortunately I brought back some sort of lurgy from the show (definitely not on my shopping list!). I have however, managed to locate my spare trooping seats and have adapted the kit floor to ensure these sit in the correct location. They still need a bit of tarting up but I think they will fit the bill.

I am really into the idea of having a Belvedere in my collection now and, if I don;t make the completion date, I will finish the build on this forum anyway

Nice one Martin, good to see you back in action with this. Sorry to hear about the lurgy, the only thing I brought back from Telford was a lighter wallet, apart from one or two goodies of course :grin:

Inbetween bouts of coughing for Britain I have started to try and knock the rotors into shape by getting them rubbed down and re-scribed. I must remember that the kit has both sets turning the same way and ythat I need to correct this befor glueing to the rotor heads.
