Lee White Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 As some of you know, I started this project about 2 years ago. I had to stop because I simply did not have any time to work on it. So, the original attempt got damaged, (don't know how), and so instead of fixing it, I just started over One of the thinks that went missing is the canopy mold, so I'll have to make a new one, and send the first one to Jack, who has been so patient. My apologies to you for this, my freind. So here are a few pics to show the progress... Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 .....Hey Lee, great to see your Cheyenne come to life. Actually just like yourself, i haven't been "productive" the past year either, and looking at the Cheyenne parts i've been tempted a lot but never got to it. (goes for other "projects" as well..... ). I really appreciate you remembering my quest for a replacement canopy, i've tried to fix the problem with an old Revell's Cobra canopy, but it just didn't do the job. Like i said before, a few years ago by now, i definitely think you'll be the first to finish this awesome kit, so looking forward to it..... Good to hear from you, yours jack.

Jack Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi Jens, Yes it's a "hybrid" helo, partly fixedwing aircraft, part helicopter, which didn't make it in the production phase, but was far ahead of its time. It was built in the mid sixties by Lockheed. cheers, jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy915 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Thats pretty weird,I was just thinking about your build the other day and was wondering what ever happened to it.
