Smeds Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Hydraulic lines on port side. The mass of pipes along the fuselage side is one piece moulding that you attatch to the fuselage. then there's 4 pieces that connect to those bracket things over the pipes. down the gear strut there is another single piece, then a smaller single piece at the gearleg end. Looks great on the model. the control rods on stbd side are present as seperate parts as well. Oh and my earlier comment regarding the rotorhead canted to port, well yes it is and ICM have faithfully reproduced it.

Finn Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Maybe they'll just have a nose section kit: from here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/197115093@N03/galleries/72157721342171803/ Jari scvrobeson, geedubelyer, John1 and 8 others 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Looks like a spectacular kit. Really ingenious design on the rear fuselage with the box form and the way everything interlocks. I think if SH does a Hi-Tech boxing, about the only things that could be replaced are wheels, seats, IP, control sticks/cyclics, and maybe stuff like exhausts and the cable reel. This thing is a monster, and I look forward to seeing who is first off the blocks on building one.

TankBuster Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Waiting to see this built up and how that nose pieces go together as I can see that being a trouble area if any parts have warpage. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokey Pete Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I had no real desire/interest to build one……until my daughter saw it and said “It’s Windlifter” A quick google search told me that ‘Windlifter’ is a Pixar Planes firefighting SkyCrane. Guess who might have to add one to the build pile? phasephantomphixer, Zola25, scvrobeson and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
