I'm tempted to join this one even though it might mean breaking my 'finish-two-unfinished-builds-before-starting-a-new-one' rule. Although I could add the coelacanth: 'with the exception of Group Builds' ...

I have a Puma, Gazelle or Bell 47 Sioux pleading with me to be built, all of which were a constant background when growing up as a child at RAF Ternhill in the early 70's which was a helicopter training school at the time.

I built the Bell 47 for a previous GB and I can really recommend it, it's a sweet little kit that takes up very little space.

Well, Blohm, you have plenty of time to go out and buy one.

No LMS stocks them. Ebay would.take until January, plus I'm broke!

Bell 47 Sioux it is then. I presume it was the Italeri Bell 47 rather than the Pavla version? I don't fancy all the PE of the Pavla, at least to finish in the month...

It was the Italeri Bell 47 here is the link to my build

Space for finished helicopters has been mentioned and I am wondering why manufacturers do not give the folded blades option if appropriate.

I had hoped to finish the Cobra in time.
But I'll be busy New Years Eve (doh!), and tomorrow I'm off (with the family visiting from Oslo) to the city on the mainland for shopping and dining out.
I'll continue the work on them in my workbench thread.

Thanks to David for leading this GB!
