I'm making a CH-53 for my Falkland's group. I made the pilots out of sprue and painted them in their orange submersion suits for those long overwater flights. Will have tanks and a refuelling probe as well.

Sweet stuff Cap'n  ;D
Same question as above 😆
Make and scale please mate..kinda looks like a old 72nd Italeri one ..but smaller  :o
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Sorry ! I'm not as well versed at posting pics of my projects as I once was lol. It's the Revell 144th scale kit. All of my Falklands builds will be 144th scale.

I opened the hole for the rotor shaft so I could drop a tube in. Tanks are from a Dragon 144 scale F-18, and the hardware to hang them are bits form a 1/72 Skycrane. Not sure what they were used for in that kit, and hopefully I won't need them if I ever get around to finishing that build lol.

Holy poop pickles mate 😳
It wasn't sure about the scale but looking at the wagons it's sitting should have given me a better idea as I take those are HO scale..say like 1/76th ..very nice going on this midget monster bud 👌 😁

HO scale is 1/87. I'm scratching them up and trying to make them look like the  worn wood deck of a well used car. They are for my CDN Army train. I need to order some tie down chains so I can secure the wee tanks.

I am liking the Argosy so far, I have a 1/72nd scale one I want to do in the same wraparound camouflage.  :wub:

Still slowly moving forward with these builds. I wanted to do it with orange, but only had yellow on hand. Works tho, as I have a silver and yellow Grumman Albatross to fit into the story.

Jamaica Mistaica? Jimmy Buffet had an Albatross. But I think it was painted white.
