phantom Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 A 1/48 Fujimi CH-139 Jet Ranger trainer as used by the Canadian Forces back in the eighties. This one is for someone else so it won't be hanging around my house when done. Starting this while the top layer of decals dry on my Enterprise.....cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Lot of brittle broken plastic going to need repair. This one needed some repair to the old broken brittle plastic. So old it could have qualified the the "Classic GB" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah.....no that is not going to happen. I was off the last 4 days. Now it 12 hour shifts till Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Looks good! I used to watch the like painted Kiowas buzzing around Portage in '74 when I was in Musketeer servicing. Got my first helo flight on 208 that year and learned about the extreme sensitivity of Kiowa controls!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks, never had experience with the Jet Ranger. But, I did with the Kiowa. Doing causality loading drills, (no hueys available) I had to tackle and hold down a new doctor who almost decapitated himself rushing to the helicopter before I gave the all clear. He wanted me arrested for assault. Ended up getting promoted (about one week earlier then I would have anyway) for saving his life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
