I have the removable assemblies all done for this build. I'm happy with them all, nice and sturdy !

Like the idea of this

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.

Same question as above 😆

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.

She looks good in those proper RAF colours !
