Thank you for the great comments!!!
Yes Wombat "I" is aspirating, it's just too hard to hobby with a tiny budget, dwindling stocks of consumables, no time due to work (or being completely buggered from work) Family commitments and stuff. Plus health issues that have a tendency to get in the way. So I don't really have that much to say when I have a look on the site. I only have time for a quick perouse of the threads I'm interested in.
The Scout is most definitely a case of "pigs ear to silk purse -ish" as the moldings were not the best (probably a Friday manufacture) with short shots (especially the main canopy), skew-iff centres and misaligned (joggled) components. During assembly I had to get creative just to progress the model not to mention I was attempting a purely OOB build, obviously this did not quite work out. One of the main things I really had to scratch/modify were the Main Rotor mast, the Main Rotor Gearbox, Tail Rotor bearings and shaft. The main canopy was short shot just under a mill at the base of the windscreen and lots along the trailing edge requiring some "inventive" fixes that did not quite work out but "Oh Well . . ."
Anyhow, it looks like a Scout, best I can say for my eighth (?) build of this kit (two previous for myself, no survivors).
Thanks again
