Revell of Germany 1/144 Chinook HC-1. Absolutely the most excellent mold and fit I have ever encountered in this scale. Kit decals, Polly Scale paints.

Hello Caz,
First welcome to AeroScale, it's nice to see new members...especially helicopter modelers.
Really 1/144th, looks pretty darn good...especially in that scale. You did a great job with the painting and markings as well. I see the pilots seat and they don’t look bad, were there any cargo sets. You should post a pic with a coin next to it, this way it will show more of your craftsmanship. Don’t forget to enter it into next months Model of the Month…

Hi Caz,
That is very tidy work. I wish I could see in 144th!
Well done.

Sheesh... 1/144? Damn, it looks too good to be 1/144... I used to have an Academy 1/144 MIG-29 which turned out horrendous... Well, it's the skill of the modeller ainnit?

Joe, there is a full cargo bay floor and backwall, but no fold-down seats. and an option to open the door, though it doesn't look well. Possibilities are endless for the insane. Belts for the pilot and co were done with strips of painted decal film.

Russell, it matters not to a blind man whether he works on 1/144 or 1/32, he still needs multiple-X visual assistance.

Will post my 1/144 scale Revell of Germany Hawkeye in the proper place, if I can find one?

Excellent job, Caz! I have just made the Italeri Chinook for the Twin spinners campaign in 1/48 and yours looks just as good. Impressive - especially considering the scale.

Thanks for sharing
