  1. Yes indeed, just googled it - same physical appearence but upto date mods on it - they say good for another 30 years. OC.
  2. Here you go mate - curtosy of wikipedia - Performance Maximum speed: 159 kn (183 mph, 294 km/h) Service ceiling: 18,500 ft (5,600 m) Rate of climb: 1,980 ft/min (10.1 m/s) OC.
  3. Indeed Lou, quite a useful tool it is - I know it can carry a jeep and trailor inside with the seats up. OC.
  4. I have a couple of pics of the later ones sisters from a few years back. OC.
  5. And them hoofs on that metal floor disturbing the concentration while playing cards and Battleships. OC.
  6. Yep, they are waiting for some wheels to be shipped over by horse and cart but have to go though the fields near - yes you guessed it Waterloo then they can carry on with the building of the chopper - there is a mixed bag of soldiers inside sitting it out playing cards - French Infantry, KGL snipers , British Infantry and even a few cuirassiers but without the horses - the horses are in one of the aircraft hangers sharing some freeze dried hay and condensed water pelets, OC.
  7. This looks very interesting mate - good practice if you ever fancied building a whole scale castle. OC.
  8. Evening all, right the Wokka needs power - please find fitted One engine glued and filled, the other one is on the other side but needs filling around the gaps. Perhaps I should call it - "The Time Machine"😉 OC.
  9. Liking the look of that mate - very nice paitwork. OC.
  10. Found this on the net today (not my pic) shows what we were talking about. OC.
  11. Another nice build under your belt Greg, looking forward to stage Two as I have seen quite a few of them and her sisters. OC.
  12. Well said - its a true testament (I know I havn't spelt that right) to our fine forum we are a family and we stray when food is on the table or mentioned - some of us can smell it even when offline or on another site, lets say its fuel for the brain to keep our build - building - keep building (bet that doesn't make much sense)☺️ OC.
  13. No problem at all mate, I completely agree about the pre-work that needs doing first - it helps having kits of this size - more space to work on. OC.
  14. Good day all, more work on the rear rotor housing - I decided to completely fill in those horrible Huge panel line gaps and sand them flat. OC.
  15. Thank you Denis, yep its taking a bit of fiddling to get it to look right - getting there though - bit by bit. OC.
  16. After doing some google searches - that part in the rear rotor housing just visible is some kind of Gearbox unit? OC.
  17. Royal Sovereign would make a Grand Kit.😉😀 OC.
  18. Very nice rope work - that serving looks just about perfect. OC.
  19. Yep, its one of the flaws with it - shame really as everything else is about right with kit - takes some fiddling with the fit, but gets there in the end. OC.
  20. I'm the same with flying - ok if I dont look down out the window and have been ok when going through clouds as the obscure the ground - have flown in a C172 (4 seats) then a B707 (180) then a B737 (130) and last a DH Dove about 10 seats I think, the dove didn't help at the pilot said one of the engines had a slight miss-firing problem at the time (my face then)😵😨 OC.
