OT's Hoplite ***Finished***

Our 3rd helicopter GB .... odd for a Forum that favors airplanes that actually fly and not those gangly objects that must instead be flown ....
Runs October 15th to November 30th.

As it would appear that you and Splash are very close to finishing OT and as I've mentioned in Splash's thread, there could be a bit of leeway on the finish of the GB to accommodate your builds. Obviously we're not talking an additional week here, but say until the end of the weekend before I ask JRatz to wrap it up.

Nice to see you plodding on with this one OT, it looks like the Russian Helicopters have put up a real fight to the end in this GB.

Great stuff OT. The GB has been extended until this coming Sunday (2nd December), I'll say until midnight but hopefully you'll get her finished before then :grin:

Sorry about the picture quality, just snapped this on my mobile phone. Here she is:

I may add a few aerials & dirty up the engines but for now this is it.

I will try to get some better shots with my camera later

:oops: Just realised I have not put the tail rotor on. :-D

Ugly little brute, but I do like those 'sand and spinach' colour schemes. Well done.

Yes, well done on completing OT and we won't let a little thing like the tail rotor get in the way of the celebrations :ha:
