Thanks Guys ... Curt your photobucket site is bookmarked. one of the things I an interesed in but can't find photos of is the rotors folded, I'm running out of space at home so want to fold the rotors on all my helos if it's viable. Eduard and Cobracompany orders incomming. Andrew

Thinking about starting my Pavehawk, Italeri 1:48. I have the Ausi decals for it which I may not use, and am wondering what Resin/PE is going to be needed to get it looking good. Cheers Andrew Mac

I'd agree with them being a little slow ... But otherwise great service, Mary (orders@... ) is great to deal with.

I have some BK-117 stuff from the Revell kit if it would suit

Nice job... just need a grey one now Get Josephs (fireballmodelworks) survivability set ... makes a fantastic update to the kit.

I shoot rodeo ..... and the odd landscape More here ... Keaphotos.com

Just cancled my card also ... even though I have had NO fraudulent charges... I do wonder if this is a case of someone walking out of a building with a portable HD...

So am I going to see this on the table at the NZ nat's next month .... no pressure or anything

It's the same airframe ... CSI Helicopters when you have the 1:48th version done I'd love to give one to John... the owner.

How about a nice Blue or Green notar :) They are both 1 hour from my house if you need detail shots Stepan.

1:72... build it in 48th... http://www.keaphotos.com/v/Models/AC130/

OK ... It's done Now what to do next ... I have enough decals to do another in the old two tone green scheme or there's that Jetranger.... Thanks for all the constructive comments guys. Andrew MacKay

Looking good Andrew .... Joseph had a good laugh when you ordered the fireball set ... Two andrew's from the South Pacific ordering parts with in days of each other. Andrew Mac

Paint on ...... Mix of tamiya light grey and tamiya dark grey I'll blast it with a coat of future tomorrow night, and get the props painted. I'm going to be showing the guys at IPMS dunedin how Promodeler wash works on thursday night. Andrew

Yup it's a cracker.. just needs a little scratch building on the interior ACH47 build photos Andrew

The Air intake is from Fireball's survivability set, along with the the IR shields, which it turns out the RNZAF hueys don't have. Joseph also includes PE wire-cutters which I used as the pattern for the ones I have made from sheet styrene. If I get a chance I'll shoot some closeups of the windscreen wire-strike guards, these are made from fine guitar wire. HTH Andrew

Been a bit to long since my last post, here's where it stands at the moment Cheers Andrew

You need to get your export sales site up Stepan...

Please please 1:48th... Given that I live in New Zealand, which abounds with 500's of every shape, I'd be one of your best customers. BTW have you a New Zealand distributor ? Andrew

Blooming heck.... I need to move backup to 1:35th, 1:48th is just to small. How are you cutting those hex nuts Oliver ? Again fantastic work Andrew

Cheers Jon, I have a bunch of 1:32 PE for a Huey from the big ed set that I'd be happy to swap.

Don't you hate that sound... I've just broken... no shattered the lower window on my ESCI UH1-d kit, would any of you good gents happen to have a spare I could purchase. Cheers Andrew

Without some major cutting resetting the console isn't doable and the seats are lower than the CMK one's. I'll have a look and see if I can fix the seats lower but don't think it's going to be easy. This CMK set is not all that accurate, if you position the cyclic where it is supposed to go it is hard up against the IP, looks better set back towards the seats 3-4 mm. something tells me this is going to be a mear to get closed up.

Yes looking at it they probably are in relation to the console, but I based the seats on the CMK seats so think that it's a case of the Console being set a little low and the seats a little high. Just had a look at my Ref's and yup you are correct... Oh well maybe the crew chief left the seats at the top of their adjustment stops for some reason
