Hi Holger,
Whoa, that's an ambitious timeline to work to! The kit goes together nicely though, so it should be possible.
Good luck!

Thank you, Gertjan! I´ll do my very best! Fortunately i can build the whole day´s without spending time at the office! That week is "for modeling only"!🙂 And when the kit is as good as you say, i must not be concerned, that this will be the first Helo since i re-begun this wonderful hobby!

Hey Holger! Have you had a chance to review Werner's commentary on this build? I did and it almost scared me away! But, just how hard can it be, right? It's just a collection of plastic pieces that need to be glued together! (Famous last words.) Start posting pictures, like yesterday! 🙂

@Holger: Fast fertig, wenn Christian kommt? Wat baust Du dann in der Woche? Oder kommt Chris "etwas" später?

@Frank: Leider kann ich in dieser Woche aus beruflichen Gründen keinen Urlaub nehmen. Entweder komme ich Freitags und bleibe bis Samstag, oder ich mache eine Tagestour. Wenn ich für eine Nacht ein Zimmer bekommen kann geht Freitag klar. Ich bin da als Seefahrer a.D völlig anspruchslos. Hauptsache warm und Nachts raschelt nix. Man sieht sich. 🙂

@ Kevin: No dirty jokes... ( why not )... "Heel wat besünners" is northern Germanys nativ language and means in English " Something very special "
But you are right, think we better talk in English. 🙂

Oh, I can translate it thanks to the magic of Google. I was just poking Frank & Holger. (Holger can ALWAYS use a good jabbing!) Carry on, my friends!

Well Kevin, Holger is a northern german nativ, as me. So he knows what`s up. Have Fun! 🙂

Seems as here was a funny conversation without me!😢
@Kevin: No, i dont know Werners comments, maybe its better for me?😢
I sniffed through my sparesbox and found some leftover pe´s and will try to use them in this build. I´m anxious to finally begin it! Doesnt matter if it fits or not, I need a finished Kiowa at home! Its just a beautiful helo! Its "Heel wat besünners"!

Hotel Kilo -
Here is Werner's review. It's worth a look at least.

Interior is weathered and finished, now up to the fuselage halves! They are going to get fittet with some Sd.kfz. 181 Panther pe,s!😉
Crazy? Oh yes, but it makes sense, you will see!!!😢

Today I had my personal "Stalingrad"...
The MRC moldings showed a lot of bad fit around the cockpit and observation electronics. I didn't had to sand it, I had to grind it down without remorse! But nevertheless, I will not give up!
The clearparts got some maskol and tomorrow I'll manage to assemble the weaponry. I swear, I go nuts with this fkn kit if the fit won't get better!
To my advantage, the building with Thomas and Frank is a great relieve and we all learned from each other ( ok, I learned the most...)!
Till tomorrow!😢

I TOLD you, but did you listen? Nooooo! ("What, behind the rabbit?"😢 "Look at the Bones!" I sure hope Monty Python's The Holy Grail made it to Germany - otherwise, you'll think I'm bats!

Since I saw the result of Holger's efforts - be curious for the pics! He's done a good job on the Kiowa!
By the way - all participants won't forget the Kiowa, because of one experience we made during the meeting "Wolfgang, NOT during the holidays!", but I think, Holger can explain this better.....

I should have give "Wolfgang" some paint to sniff, so his withdrawls won't get too heavy!😢
