BsYamato's rotors

Post by BsYamato »

This is my first entry, the old airfix Bo-105, one of hardest kits to find in my collection, actually another in the stash but the recent Amodel 105 turning this as real old thing but even a good kit to reproduce the famous messerschmitt helo :)

That is a nice start. I like those Airfix kits, even the older ones.

First works on the german chopper:
holed and thinned front intake, reshape of seats, front and rear , not yet finished. Removed copilot peg , theres a central consolle that must find home :)

Image

Fuselage test fit and holed rear exhausts

Image

Image

Actual assembly of main rotor that seems missing some detail , mostly on the basement and control bars

Image

Rescribbed main panel lines and removed rivets (so the counters cannot count them :hmm: )

Image

Tht's all for now :)
