Liking the look of that mate - very nice paitwork. OC. -
Found this on the net today (not my pic) shows what we were talking about. OC.

Thank you brother.🤛 OC.

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.

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.

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.
-
Some good progress there mate - coming along nicely. OC.

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.

Thank you Denis, yep its taking a bit of fiddling to get it to look right - getting there though - bit by bit. OC.
-
After doing some google searches - that part in the rear rotor housing just visible is some kind of Gearbox unit? OC.

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.

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.

Evening all, more progress - not much content but some good improvement, I painted the inside cover of the rear fuselage rotor area, then it was glued inplace and then a few gaps were filled and sanded, then on the same general area - the kit makers decided to make an acess cover panel lines be engraved - but in true life the gap would be about 2-3 Inches wide, so I had a go at filling the gap with my vallejo filler - hopefuly this will look ok when primed and painted. OC.

I was once asked to do a bungy jump - I replied "Not on your nelly" OC.

I couldn't have done it as I suffer from vertigo when high up, I can't even look down from a high building, I was up the top ramparts of a castle the once and nearly got stuck as I froze from looking down over the edge. Nope can't do hights. OC.

Dont want to derail this thred but No Esprit 2.2 Turbos models have ever been made for some strange reason, you can get the Mk1's and Bonds Esprit - Sub and the later version with the GM motor, just No mk2's - S2.2, S2.2 Turbo. OC. -
Some nice masts there mate - and very tidy serving. OC.

Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I will be watching this with interest - I had been looking for a Lotus Esprit Turbo for years - but they just dont do one - this will be good. OC. -
Superb finish mate - made even more special by your work on those decals. OC.

Evening all, I got some really good progress on this today - Including a pic I promised from yesterday, after completing the bottom I then worked on the rear tail rotor panel that is at the extreme rear and goes from above the ramp roof upto the rotor head, its a One piece molding but had to be sanded to get it to fit, then a couple of gaps was created these needed filling with my filler and smoothing after, also the area where this piece joined needed some quite drastic sanding - this wiped out some of the panel lines, so I got my little flex straight edge and sriber - and set about re-scribing the lost panel lines. I then turned my attention to the front of the rear rotor area where there is some kind of machinery that is enclosed save for a small opening in the front - this was assembled painted/weathered and glued in place - then the cover was assembled and dry fitted (as in the pic). So here is the current situation - OC.

Thank you Roger, what also supprises me is the guys who stand so close to the rear ramp - tethered, buy "wow" must take some guts to do that and a head for hights. OC.
