Would love to see you build the chinnock. Should be getting mine today but will sit in my stash for a while. Always like watching others build kits before I start, it's part of my pre planning 😂

[@MsModeller]

I won't be building mine immediately! But it's definitely got me excited! 🙏

[@BrianSanders-tn7pi]

Hi Ms modeller. Its nice to see you again. I,m not a big 'chopper ' fan but I must say that does look like a nice kit. There's plenty of it. I particularly like the glazed nose section. Once you put the blades on it will take up some space, maybe try to find a way of taking off the blades for transport / storage. Thats one of the reasons that I din,t do helicopters, just to big. Anyway nice kit and a good video. Best wishes.

[@MsModeller]

Thanks for the tips! 💟

[@Slycockney]

Of course you should make it, it looks superb. Mine is on its way and I can't wait.

[@MsModeller]

Hope you enjoy it! 🤞

Nice review! Looks a beauty of a kit, I'm really trying to find a reason not to get it! 😂 You should definitely build it too, will look forward to seeing it take shape. Thanks for posting. Happy modelling 👍

[@Jonathan_55018]

great kit ive not built many helicopters but have a couple in my stash

[@MsModeller]

It's getting me all hot for helis! 👀

[@davidmarkey4353]

looks a really nice kit. Should you build, yes, But only after a good study of the plans and work out what you need to paint before assembling. Many thanks for a great review

[@MsModeller]

Very true! I always look for the right paints first 🥇

[@emmabird9745]

Hi Lexi. Yes, of course build it. Absolutely. I see "Big Windies" (Chinnook), usually about 3 at a time generally once a week and I look up every time. It looks good as you show it there except (me on my hobby horse) Airfix have limitted the display opportunities by having no one to drive it. Why not include a couple of pilots so that we can have a bit of authenticity "in flight"? They must surely have CAD files of pilots they could add. I've had one on order for about a month now, along with its spiritual greart great great grandfather the Bristol Belvedere (Vintage classic). Bristol (or I think it might have been after the Westland take over) sold the rights to Boeing Vertol so the lineage is clear. As a quick tip, to those who may not know, in these tandem rotor designs the rotors are geared togther so as one blade passes over the body it is in the gap of the other rotor so a display should show that. Airfix did a very good Lynx AH1 in the old days, as they did the Gazelle and Puma and I would love to see them rereleased as VC as I would love to see the Scout as well. (They all had pilots too!) I love helicopters. PS. I suppose thats Atlantic Conveyor in the box art.

[@MsModeller]

I'm excited to get mine done at some point! Pilot figures seem to be completely random these days; but I'll perhaps add some to mine! Depends how I want to do mine in the end! 👀

@@MsModeller Its a pity they don't give us the option.

[@DudleysScaleModelcars]

[@MsModeller]

That's the plan! ☺️

[@retirednavychief6983]

It was nice to see your review! I have a few models I'll probably never build. Is there a way to 'donate' models for your channel?

[@MsModeller]

Hey! If you send me an email at [e-mail] I can arrange it with you.

[@matthewhopson964]

Not a big fans of unbocing videos but you've given it another fimendion by turning it into mote of a pre review. Is it inspiring you to go gor a Belvedere yet?

[@MsModeller]

I have a Belvedere already! It's just finding the time 🥲

[@jaws848]

The REAL question is......does it Transform..lol...would look awesome with subdued Autobot symbols on it.....yeah im a Transformers nerd and from time to time i do models as Transformers in their alt modes /disguides as aircraft.

[@MsModeller]
