Lol! Yeah, I am a little worried about how big it'll be - but what a mean looking beast!

I'm still the highest bidder - 20 hrs to go!

Yeah I don't build enough helicopters either - it's a shame are there are some great kits out there.

That's cool Stik! I don't know a lot about the variants, I just know I wanted a USAF Pavelow bird rather than the Navy/USMC version, with the extra tanks etc.

Yeah, that is one version I've been wanting to build too. Never built a PAVE LOW.

I'll be watching this one.

It’s past the 20 hours Stuart. We’re you victorious?

Yep sorry, I was waiting for the kit to arrive before I posted it up - got it for £24 including shipping which I was pretty pleased with.

Wow Mark - I thought you'd built one of everything!

Excellent news on the win Stuart! Can’t wait to see you post photos of the kit when it comes in.

This will be fun to watch. I have had one in the stash for awhile. Just not enough time.

Thanks Gents!

I've recieved the kit but not had a chance to look over the kit yet - too much blooming decorating! I suspect it'll hit the bench soon though!

I haven't forgotten this - I'm just wondering if buildIng a large Helicopter with a large rotor span is such a good idea if I'm moving next year? :hmm:

I always build them so the rotors lift off so they are safer to transport.
