James' Airfix 1/72 Gazelle **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.

Cheers Shaun, I just ran the blades between my finger and thumb. They are quite thin and the plastic is soft enough.

That is a great finish James, and the added details are really inspiring. It's hard to believe it started out as bright red.

Congratulations James!

I built this when it first came out and remember it being a bit of a nightmare!

You've done both the kit and yourself justice - well done on a grand effort!

Brilliant James, it's all those little extra details that bring it to life. Really like what you've done with the rotor head.
