That is looking good now Splash. Those are the Airfix rotors and wheels I presume?

One seriously worn chopper! Looks quite good and would work well in a movie.

Ho, Ho, Ho, with a little help from Airfix that Starfix can of worms has scrubbed up rather well. Excellent, well done on knocking that one into shape!

That black finish has come out exceptionally well! Great work especially considering what a dog the original kit was...

Excellent grubby finish and nicely depicted with the background diorama.
