Hello,


This definitely isn't best Italeri model. HOT missile mounts had to be glued to fuselage using two tiny joints. It was real pain, I've managed to do it with CA only. Also, model was really close to achieve escape velocity - out of my window. Main rotor mount is so delicate that just before final photos it broke when I tried to slightly move it...Not to mention cockpit doors and windows that wasn't fit - just too small.


Finally finished it in what-if polish marking. I've tried to paint it in tiger scheme, using just Tamiya masking tape - I have a larger tiger-themed model "on approach" so this was some kind of testbed.


I've added seatbelts from 1,5 mm tape, AMMO lens for landing light and that's all. As I sad, kind of testbed, proof of concept :)

Looks fantastic - the results seem worth the problems with the kit.

 It dates from 1978 and has been issued by Italeri and Revell. Too bad it's such a dog.

Beautiful work mate 👏 👍 👍
One day I'll do a tiger meet build ..one day  ;D
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 .

Absolutely stunning in that scheme  :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That's great, lovely finish.  :wub:

It's a type I've always liked with It's bulbous canopy, our first Police helicopter around here was a Bo.105. It was damn noisy though! The MD902 that replaced it was much quieter.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

LOVE the tiger striped rotor blades on the 105, very cool indeed.  :wub:  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Kit
