Bell47 wip

Everything  is fine, just busy. Summer is a busy yardwork  time for me so I don't get a lot of bench time.

Hey ! 

       What's up? did you stop the build? You got to the Rotary Wing then stopped .Is everything ok?

Rotorhead complete. I added a bit of bow to the blades.

Well;

     That's cool. I do like what you're doing to her.

This ones about a foot long or so.

OhO!

       When I was growing up, before my turn at a uniform I used to go to " GrandMothers"( You didn't call her Granma) house. We went past a section of the Bell Aircraft factory there in Niagara Falls, N.Y. and they would be lined up in large numbers, with the markings of all three services and the Coast Guard too!

       I was so fasscinated with them I remember buying a Hawk or Aurora kit of one almost a foot or more long .The Canopy Bubble was molded in one piece and they didn't include door decals! Plus you could build the Medi-Vac or the one equipped with floats! The Canopy Bubble was so thick everything inside was all distorted!

Thanks. No, I built them, not very good, but it adds a little buisiness.

Looking good!

Love the little headsets, my guess is they don't come with the kit.

Thanks. Cockpit was a bit bare so I added a couple things.

Wow! That's looking great! 

Cockpit.

No, it's a Marines bird.

I hear ya buddy.....my last phone took horrible snappies too.  My new cell takes awesome pics. 

Is your project going to be a M*A*S*H heli?

It's my crappy phone camera. I'll have to start using my tablet.

Looks awesome! Have you tried a brighter light for your images? They seem a tad on the dark side.  More detail will show if you use a brighter light. 

Excelent! I was going to start this kit this year so I'll be watching.

Instrument panel done.

Thank you.

Nice work! 

Thanks. Its oob. Except for some scratched details.

Looks great !  Are there any photo etch parts or is it out of the box? 

Cool!  Just finished the italeri 1/48 kit a month or so ago.  Looking good.
