Wow Neil: great work!
Although I must admit now that the kit can be made into a good looking helo, I do agree with Davey: the rotor system is very difficult and the fenestron tailrotors in my EC135-kits had more flash than fenestron. That makes me wonder wether Revell will keep this kit in their program for very long. Here in the Netherlands the Bundesgrenzschutz-version has been in a big sale and is available for just six euro. We've seen these Revell-sales before and very often after that, the kit is discontinued (Revell wants to get rid of the last stock?).
I also keep having trouble with the exhaust pipes: very poor fit and I still don't know how to place them exactly.
I have different versions of the kit, and I like the German-Police version best: high skid gear, FLIR- turret, searchlight, rescue winch, loud hailer and loads of other extras.
So: it can be made into a real winner if you have the patience to work on its shortcomings.
Good luck!
