Whell i thought it was time so i have taken the plundge and got my first complete resin kit :blink:
, an Anigrand sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk.
I opend the box and looked at the parts and it seems to be very nice , so here goes, any help would be apreciated as i am going in blind :blink:,
think i will start with the cockpit area, although this looks a bit empty so might add a few extra parts from my spare box

I often looked longingly at that kit on Arnolds pages Lenny, lovely machine, almost looks too pretty to be an attack helicopter. British Army?
Got to admit I bit off more than I could chew with the Sukhoi T-4MS, some of the parts were mis-matched & I wasn't really prepared for it having not tackled resin before. I think you'll do better!
no it will be in royal navy seaking markings from last years 100 years of naval aviation, as a partner aircraft for the jungle seakings use by the royal marines.
Ah, should have guessed! Looking forward to seeing it. :thumbsup:
OK work going well and its quite a good fit also
decided to do some upgrades to make it a 2010 machine but in 1970 markings

Yes, I've got a set you can have - PM me your address.
Is that LORAN "towel rail" aerial made from a MiG-21 pitot boom? Genius if it is..... :thumbsup:
All this reminds me I was at Farnborough when the S-67 had that awful crash. :o
I think both crew members were killed, sad to say, and so was the project.
Not to criticize, but shouldn't the "hot brick" jammer be closer to the exhausts?
your probably right but once i put on the exhausts i put a set on the sides also
That's a good looking whirlybird. Are you going to arm it up as well? ASW?
as its a royal marines machine it will be loaded for its missions that its running today , afganistan.
You have heard of the "super Cobra" this is the Sexy Cobra! :wub: Nice work so far Lenny :cheers:
hoped to have it ready of the nothern show but i have ran into problems with my airbrush( need a new part i hope to pick up at the show) so if its on the table it will be as a work in progress
