Wow, thanks Petr, I cant wait to get that Tempest. You guys are doing an amazing job and really taking this to the next level for sure! Appreciate the updates Cheers Anthony

Thanks Norbert, I will PM you later today with the research/quotes I have to date Cheers Anthony

Hey Norbert, sorry to hear mate, but possible interest in looking at a 1/32 Bell 412 for a few of us here?

Niiice, another top update, thanks!

Ok, I might take this further. For those who are genuinely interested in wanting a 412 and keen on seeing if we can make this work please PM me. I will set up an email group to communicate. With the end outcome to be as much or as little of a Bell 412 as you desire. We can look at the sums, figure out if you want to go ahead and then split the costs depending on what we all want to do. Ideally 10 people could chip in to do the CAD work for a 32nd 412 and it would work out quite a good price. However printing isn't cheap......especially if you are looking at a complete kit! Like I say, may

Great work as always Maurizo...lovin this build!

Hmmm, I might flag it then. Someone told me the printing will be expensive as well for a full fuse. I have asked for a price to print as well. I appreciate all of your responses very much......I haven't given up completely at this stage Will keep you posted. Cheers Anthony

Hi guys As many of you know here I am a huge fan of Helicopters, particularly in 1/32. I have been a little slow with the BK-117 "Westpac Rescue" but not because I don't want to. In the meantime I have been looking more seriously at producing a Bell 212/412 using CAD 3D printing technology. Quickly I realised that to make a fuselage was out of my capabilities and time to do it properly. With having a wife and son, rebuilding a plane and work/life in general I have decided to take it all to a professional. Initially I was looking at just a 'pointy and std nose' for the Revell Huey worki

Amazing Marcel, your workmanship is faultless and is an artform...I really hope my 32nd A-4K Kahu comes out even half as good as this! Thanks for the inspiration Cheers Anthony

Excellent Maurizio!!! I wondered how this was going. Great to see her back on the bench Cheers Anthony

Hi Huey_crew_chief, I am working at producing a 'pointy' nose (at the moment) and 212/412 conversion with Chris using CAD technology. I hadn't thought of a std nose in simplified form to be honest. I will talk to Chris about this. Cheers Anthony

Nice one Rob....you are lucky to have Chris so close to you!!

Beautiful detail work there I love all the extras added on top of the resin parts...well done Cheers Anthony

Aah Rob you beat me to it mate. Chris emailed me as well to post the pics as he was having problems. As you know Chris is an awesome modeller and it is nice that he is also working on the 205. As Rob said Chris flew Hueys and also BK-117's for ADAC and I am in the process of helping him with the main structure so he can load it all up with his amazing 'HUGE' etch set for the 32nd BK-117. Chris is a genius when it comes to photoetch and for those who haven't seen it he does an amazing set for the BK. Chris has 3 versions of floor in the works and the prototypes you see here are very much

Eugene, as an Auster owner myself (military T7) your stunning workmanship captured my attention instantly!!!! Just beautiful, I am amazed at the detail you have included Thank you for posting Cheers Anthony

Hi Marcos Thank you very much for this information. I think you are correct, this does not look to difficult to do.... I would very much appreciate your 1/72 version!! Thanks again Cheers Anthony

Thanks for the update Marcos, you are doing a fantastic job...mmm I wonder how hard it would be to convert one into a -72? Love each update Cheers Anthony

:gr_eek2:/> Oliver, I dont believe you are human....clearly a human form of a 3D printer, making us believe it is all made out of little pieces of plastic.....some will be fooled, but I am not

Hi Chuck That mirror is a std 'Air Ministry' one often seen on Spitfires and Mustangs etc. Even My Auster T7 has one! Anyway, I have a brand new one still in its box to go back on my plane when she is through rebuild. I can take a photo if you like. They are actually holes on either side. These allow access to the top of the mounting bracket attach point. Cheers Anthony

Nothing short of spectacular my friend........very nice! Cheers Anthony

I just ordered some 1/48 A-4 intake blanks (pre painted) from Sprue Bros and their service was second to none. Of course Darrens intakes were stunning!

Great work Raymond, and thank you so very much for producing these great kits! Now.....any chance of a 1/32 Aermacchi 339C No... Ok I thought so, but I had to ask Cheers Anthony

Aaaahh Mr Zactoman, you are driving me nuts! :bandhead2:/> I have a little soft spot for the Tomcat and I have been sucessfully resisting that Trumpeter kit, reassuring myself that their Skyhawk was all I needed :whistle:/> Darn it. Seeing this beautiful work and knowing how nice your stuff is from what I already have. I am almost ready to buy a 'D' just so I can buy these!!! How do you do that??? Any chance of Skyhawk bits (like pylons) one day? Cheers Anthony

Thanks, always up for another helicopter build! Cheers Anthony

Just fantastic Oliver! You must be seeing light at the end of the tunnel now :blink: I am DESPERATE to get on at full speed on my BK, I just have to finish this Skyhawk commission build first. Cheers Anthony
