Very nice. Another great build. I'm still digging the carrier deck base.

That's a great looking Phrog Adam, and to eco Gino that is a cool carrier base. Might have to borrow that someday.
Quick question...where/what did you (get)use for the chains turnbuckles.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

Hi
Thanks for looking lads, Mother - answering your question, i made only one (on the side) from red bull can and some plastic, three under helo are chains only ( i can scratch build one, but replicating more is always a struggle for me). I heard that white ensign models make them in 1:48 scale.
By the way i need to thank you, as folding rotor blades is a copy of your idea.
Mojo- thanks pal, but it's not a Chinook and model will be in show - but not in Hendon, it will be in Gloucester IPMS model show on 27 of May.
