Having recently reviewed the kit here ( http://s13.zetaboards.com/RevellAtions/topic/7235672/1/#new ) I was quite keen to see how it builds. And as I have a couple of stalled builds due to modellers block I saw this as an ideal opportunity to get my mojo back.

So here is the obligatory box top shot.

I had decided to build up the cockpit and cabin area separately from the fuselage sides with a view to painting it as a complete assembly. And so before I knew it ( well after only an hour ) I had that work done and here is a dry run using the Revell masking tape reviewed here ( http://s13.zetaboards.com/RevellAtions/topic/7235664/1/#new )

Fit looks to be very good all round and I may even get away without using any filler.

So, this is where I am at after an hours work. I probably will have the tail and main rotor blades folded.

Here is the interior done as per the instructions. From what can be seen in the open doorways it is more than sufficient.

Fuselage side put together and rear attached. Still no filler required.

All very simple and enjoyable so far.

When a kit is "enjoyable" it says a lot about the kit.
Look forward to the next update mate .
