paul71 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 nice build grumps, i forgot to check the weight in mine for some reason its got just enough weight for it to sit on the wheels but it can sit on its tail if the unit is nudged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Thomas Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I really like the Japanese types you have shown in this post. Such a variety of designs and markings. I have a few in the cavern but have not attempted any as yet. Perhaps now ….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upside to the glider is that there are no propellers to break when you clean it. Randall 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopres57 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 That's a good finish on the Dinah with a realistic looking shade of green. Japanese aircraft green has been a bit of a mystery to me over the years. The colours given on painting guides often seem a lot darker than those on pictures of actual aircraft. I've always had a soft spot for the Mitsubishi Dinah though, it just looks the part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumps123 Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma HC.1 Airfix 1973 tool 1994 box 03021 An old tool, this was obviously not to the standard of later Airfix offerings, the clear parts being quite thick and a little opaque. The canopy caused a number of difficulties to go together and the instructions were not great. Aside from that, my first helicopter, any mistakes are mine and I found it quite an enjoyable build. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A J Rimmer Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Loving that - I love Puma's! I wish they'd re-release this as a vintage classic - the kits are like hen's teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jopres57 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 That's a good build of a rare kit. The Puma has been a great helicopter, it entered service nearly fifty years ago and is still going strong. I imagine the model is slightly inaccurate because back in the seventies Airfix used to often base new releases on prototype or pre-production machines in order to be the first with a new kit. This definitely needs an update, if not at least a vintage classic appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
