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 :)

Finished detailing the cockpit , after paint will add the IP cover

Image

Image

Base painting and sealed black clear parts borders (it prevent bad refraction on windows and canopy that have borders near the glue line. A good tip from a freine on italian forum)

Image

Image

Image

The little squade are the upper consolle

At the next!
