Man I forgot to close out this thread.  I was keeping track in the VTOL group build.

Anyhow, here's how she wrapped up - check out Modelcrazy's VTOL group build thread here for the rest of the build... my bad.

Yes it's the Italeri kit.   Nice job. I remember seeing your build a while back.  Great idea. 

Thanks,

Is this the Italeri kit?  If so, it builds into a nice bird, with out TOO many problems....

There is a AM kit to fold the rotars.   Mine will be a huge biatch...lol  

Ya ramp down.  The interior is really lacking but so be it.

Thanks,

Can this kit be built with those big rotors folded? I looked at the instructions on Scalemates but the instructions don't indicate the rotors folding.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

I have this kit in the stash, for a while now that I think about it, lol.  I'll be following along!

If you think it is big now, just wait till you get the props on. Mine is well over a foot and a half wide with them.

Nice start! Are you gonna leave the ramp down to show off the interior?

These birds fly around my house every day out of Miramar MCAS - cool bird.  So I decided to build one

Pit done - I had to adjust the bulkhead when I put it it the fuselage

A bit of a Flory wash on the deck

So much seam work to do...

She's a big bird!

Thanks,

John
