I don't usually do WIPs, but decided for some reason that I'd make the effort with this one, as it's an unusual subject, not least that it's a helicopter in a proper aviation scale. I bought the Revell kit at a show last year for a good price. The kit is in Revell's new box and style, and it was only later I discovered that it was first issued in 1996. This is not a problem, it will just need some work. The box has some colourful options, but I settled on going off-piste and doing a British one. The Army Air Corps bought 16 or thereabouts in the late 1950s/early 1960s to fill a capability gap until the Westland Scout was available. I'll be doing XR385 (c/n 1645) as it appeared at the Middle Wallop Army Air Day in 1975. So on with the show. First the box, illustrating how I deal with those end-opening boxes: cut the top out and tape up the ends. It's a simple kit. Three grey sprues, one clear sprue, instructions, decals, and safety info slip At the moment I can't find any aftermarket for it, any suggestions welcome. (Edit: just found some Eduard Etch - we'll see.) I'll add a set of generic seat belts and some home-cut masks for the markings, otherwise it's from the box all the way. Back later with (hopefully) some actual work accomplished.
