I'm calling this done, based on the Airfix Fairey Rotodyne kit with Italeri Boeing MH-47E SOA Chinook parts, cockpit glazing painted masking tape cut to size (nearly worked) a mixture of decals, acrylic Hataka paints. My second finished aircraft model .

The folding radome looks much better painted black.

This side shows that I have tried to tidy up the masking tape

Well if ever anyone sells the Fairey Rotodyne model in 1/48 scale it would be an interesting opportunity to fit some electric engines.
Thanks for your comments Captain Canada :thumbsup:
