IVACPlumb Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 So if you frequent the pages of Britmodeller you may of seen this before. it was a mammoth task to undertake, and one i failed to realise how big a job it would be! especially as there was no "Plan" It started out with the main fuselage changes by cutting and shuttling window panels to their correct place, then the addition of extra ones! Followed by starting on the scratch built interior: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bikerider Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I built this kit using a Belcher Bits conversion to make a RCAF CH-149 Cormorant. It was challenging, even with the conversion pieces provided for me. Nice job what you've done so far... can't wait to see the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 😂 the Huey looked good. The new internal work looks great too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IVACPlumb Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) it more on the external details including adding additional rivet details to the entire airframe: The fantastic 3D resin bits from Simone Plai new nose also from Simone Coat of primer over everything! And a start on the dreaded dayglow orange Edited April 25, 2022 by IVACPlumb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bikerider Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Really well done. I've built this kit and used Belcher Bits conversion to make it a CH-149 Cormorant... it's not the easiest to put together but this looks great, especially the interior Quote Link to post Share on other sites
