So here`s my next project for a competition on another forum. Picked up this 1/78 scale Rotodyne in the MZ sale for this particular comp with the view to turn it into one of the 20 or so examples that the RAF were expected to order.
I picked the name Bybon after a famous ancient, (early 6th century BC), Greek weight lifter. Felt that this name fell in line with the early 60`s era and I`m gonna see if I can convince you that this would have been the aircraft type chosen by the RAF over the Chinook.
The finish will be of an example in the mid to late 80`s which would of had a few `mods` along the way including an attack capability.
Anyway, I would have loved to have given you all a full run down and review of the kit that you get out of the box, but as you can see, once the spruces were removed most of the kit was still in the box......
I`m also going to have to do a little jiggery pockery to the inside of the cabin to bring it up to a military configeration.......,
..... but I still like the idea of keeping the `crapper` in place.....
More updates as and when.
