Oh no...., not another Rotordyne..!!

I might have to talk to the wife......

Ye GODS!!!!...That's unheard of. You are a brave man sir...

[tc2324]

I`m back.......! 

After swimming back from Cornwall the only decent shots of aircraft I got were at Culdrose in the middle of a monsoon rain storm.......





.... and yes it really was that wet but not bad shots for a Sony compact.

Getting back to the rotordyne I have attached the wings and added the glass to the cockpit.



Need to crack on with this baby now.

That is a nice pic given you can see the rain in the shots 

Dryed out yet ?

[Mossie]

I do like those shots of the Merlin in the rain, rarely do you see pics in those kind of conditions.

Glad to see you cracking on with the Rotodyne!

[tc2324]

Slow, but steady progress, and it`s starting to take shape. Just need to clean up a few areas and it`s a good`n.

[Mossie]

By the way, I've started a Rotodyne/Convertiplane TB so feel free to pop this in.

Good job its not sunny or we'll all need sunglasses

Just when I thought it was safe to go into Holborn MZ and not be tempted by the reduced price Revell Rotordynes, along comes this thread.  Aaargh!!!

Will do Mossie. I`l add this one when it`s complete. 

A quick piccie update and things are going slowly for a change. 

Damn you new job, damn you!........

That rotor is huge! Looking good. By the way the RN Merlin pics are very dramatic, nice job.

Cheers Kerick..  It was a tad wet at Culdrose that day.... 

Applied some decals today to see if I can give it that American 1950`s feel.

Not so sure if I suceeded but it`s the best I can do with what I have to play with.





Still a bit of finishing to be done, not least applying a wash, but that won`t be for a week or so as I need to order them and get it delivered.

[PR19_Kit]

That does look good in a USAF scheme. 

There's no place for buzz numbers on a 'dyne though, and goodness knows what buzzes you'd allocate!

[Mossie]

Kaman produced machine, nice touch!

[tc2324]

I`m calling time on this one, so with no further delay, I give you.....
