Thanks bughunter! I should also add the molded on seatbelts Revell provided are not the best, but I got a case of the lazies and didn't replace them all with tape. To be fair,there are nine seats.

A builds of firsts, my first Helicopter and first use of 3D decals. Turns out the kit was originally a HobbyBoss kit and looks great nice details and combination of fine panel lines and rivets where need, I have high hopes for this build. 🤞

Cheers #Villiers, the 3d decals are fantastic and really elevate the tubs to a new level.
First real issue with the kit is the fit of the main body, it does not want to join easily and I can find a cause but most can be fixed by gluing a small section at a time and working down the body.
However the bottom section is far too narrow for the kit bottom part, creating large hangovers. This may suggest the bandy has a warp in it but this is modelling not assembly.
I've added a stretcher of sprue to force the side apart hopefully this will help and not cause more issues later.

Another sort of issue although a little troublesome rather than true issue.
The instruction contain a couple of templates for both inner and outer glass masks (a great idea I wish more kits had). However they are way under scale, I resorted to old skool and used Tamiya tape and fresh blade with bright light behind (phone light 😁) and cut my own.
While right this it occurs to me they may be 1/72 scale and were not rescaled to 1/48 will check later.

Great spot #Jens J it is indeed Special Hobby plastic, my apologies to both Special Hobby and HobbyBoss for the confusion.
Just completed a HobbyBoss and had them on my mind, this would be an excuse if the sprues where not so well labeled and on the Quinta 3D decals 🤪

for the crap kit it is, its going on quite okay now with some colour on it at least, hopefully the cannopy wont ruin it all due to the bad kit

Good job so far, Johan. Keep it up! (and do not mix the parts from both kits 😉

I'll prepare all you guys who are watching this.
I'm going to be decalling this up as a what if model.
There are several decal options I have of the RAF Grey Hawk scheme that will go to waste and one of the decals I used on this aircraft broke so I've used a mixed match of decals from all of them to create a special scheme celebrating all the Grey Hawk T.1's at RAF Chivenor.
