Lovely looking chopper and in a very appropriate setting too. 8-)

That's a sweet looking helicopter.

Well done, the orange looks spot on.

Great work, and a cool looking base to set the whole thing off.

That looks great and the base sets it off really nicely.

Thanks for the compliments chaps. I really liked that build, despite the fact I made it harder for myself with all the mods necessary for the RAF version. Note to self - build more helicopters, especially Italeri ones :grin:

It has faults. It should have a deeper bubble canopy, but crash moulding that complexity of glazing is beyond my skills at the moment! I had also planned to put the letter 'M' behind the instrument panel where it should be, but just plain forgot, and I don't fancy prising the bubble off again now :shock:
