Hey Everybody,
Stumbled upon this GB last night and decided to join....albeit a bit late I see.
I plan to build this kit in the markings of the Royal Canadian Navy. (Love that the Gov. has brought that name back!)
I havn't built an aircraft kit in about 20 years (I am 37 now) so I am looking forward to this build. I started out building AC kits when I was a kid but moved over to armour where I have been ever since. (British/Allied WW2 and some modern.) So my AC building skills are pretty weak!
I have had this kit kicking around for a couple years and this GB will be a perfect reason to actually build it. I am not going to get all fussed about details. I seem to remember reading that this kit isn't exactly the one used by the RCN. The tail rotor slopes down where the one used by the RCN was straight. I just want to open the box and build it like when I was a kid and not worry about getting everything perfect.
The only AM I will use will be a decal set by CanMilAir to augment the kit supplied decal sheet.
Here is a pic of the kit. Wish me luck and look for an update very soon. Will hopefully get started tonight after my boys go to bed. Cheers Jeff
