Thanks for your interest gorby and bughunter!
These are some quick images I grabbed on Sunday - will get some better ones and post here.
Part 'traditional' sheet styrene (with a balsa wood core for the wings) and part CAD designed and printed parts for the details, such as engine, exhausts, undercarriage, cockpit details.
Built for a former owner of the full-size aeroplane.

Those teasers you threw at us wet the appetite for more. I fully second Bughunters request.

Hi Dieter - I would have to borrow it back from the person I built it for - so will possibly be at Telford, but not sure at this stage.

That's „true" modeling! Great result & execution. Chapeau! Could you add some WIP pictures please?

Thanks for your kind words Bernhard and Robert - appreciated!
I've just uploaded some 'in-progress' images - I may have more which I'll add if I find them.
I'll be taking some studio shots in next few days.

Iain, were the wings repurposed from another kit or did you vacuform them? How did you make ridges so perfect on the wings?

Hi Skyhiker - that's an easy one - and quite an old technique. The wing cores are carved from balsa wood - takes minutes. A single sheet of thin styrene is then cut to suitable size to wrap around the balsa core. The positions of the ribs (and any other details) are marked on the *insides* of the styrene wing skins using a pencil - working from plans - and then gone over using a biro/ball-point pen along a steel straight edge using sufficient pressure to form the 'raised' rib feature on the outside. Skins are then bonded to the balsa core using epoxy - and cyanoacrylate/superglue on some of the edges. It's a really simple, and quite satisfying, process.

Thanks, again, for all your kind words - really appreciated - I never think anything is quite 'good enough' - so the feedback is really encouraging. Yesterday I removed the windscreen as I wasn't happy with it - and also have to replace the 3D Printed tail skid as it's broken for a second time - modifying the design of that to allow for a metal core - as I did with the main undercarriage legs. Have fun!

Thank you very much for all the additional pictures of the build phase! And you lucky one own an ALPS printer 👍 I hope your supplies will last forever.

I wanna post a few pictures of my recently completed tamiya 1/32 F-14A (VF-154) but i feel like ill get laughed out of this community due to the sub par quality of my model

Nobody gets laughed at. We all (re-)started somewhen. You might even get a hint or two on how to improve. And if you have a specific aspect where you would like to do better, don't hesitate to ask. Them gals and guys, they do know a lot.

You won't get laughed at as Michael says. Scalemates is a very supportive group. I know it can be quite daunting at first but there is room for every ability on this site. 🙂

Wer bei der Tu 128 von Trumpeter alle Fehler in Perfektion beseitigt hat, muss sich nicht vor der Mi-6 fürchten.
Etwas Spachtelmasse und Schleifpapier bereitlegen... und schon kann es losgehen 😉

Ja das war wirklich eine Baustelle das Ding. Aber trotz des Ehrgeizes der Chinesen, dem Modellbauer auch den letzten Nerv zu rauben, sieht mir Amodel so auf den ersten Blick nach mehr Arbeit aus...

Starts to look like a Mil Mi-6? Well, then it's time to charge the teaser to a picture of your model. 😉

Q: The tiny "brass" colored tubes for the wiring on the main rotor head, are those bits of cut up syringe tips?

Thank you mates.
The self-cut masks on the side windows revealed a catastrophic picture after removal: something sticky remained on the windows... the hoped-for cover was also rather poor, the paint got under the masks at the edges. 🤬
Now I'll make a calming coffee and then try to repair it.

Damn, that sucks. I had same experience on several builds, nothing some scraping and reapplication of Future can't fix.

That's unfortunate, but maybe you can remove the tape residue with some IPA alcohol and cotton buds?

I scraped everything off with a toothpick, more or less. Not the best result, but the model was able to avoid being thrown away.

With the attachment of the last parts and the assembly of the antenna forest, the helicopter is finished and the project is complete.
Thanks to everyone who has been part of this strenuous journey... and now have fun with the final pictures.
