I'm a former Royal Marines Commando who served in afghan on herrick 9 back in 08/09, went on this particular helicopter a few times for air assaults. Picked up this model today and will be giving it the paintjob for that time period, can't wait to make a start on it.

Hi, Nice build. I'm an ex HC1 engineer (and been involved all the way to the Mk6) and I can see that Airfix have obviously cut a few corners and reused moulds from other variants (HC2 and later). As an example the 'wiring and pipes' at the rear of the cabin weren't visible on the HC1, there was a variety grey plastic cover panels over them that were a right nightmare to fit. These were removed from HC2 onwards so that hydraulic leaks could be easily identified. Similarly the rectangular panel on the right side (same area) is the 'maintenance panel,' that was introduced from the HC2 onwards. Another little bug bear I have with a lot of these kits is that the cabin seat back straps cover the cabin windows, this was (and still is) a big no-no as the cabin windows can be jettisoned in an emergency but the straps positioned there would then impede escape. Many of these things is just me being picky as I worked on them for years so have detailed knowledge that I appreciate the layman wouldn't be aware of. All in all excellent build from your perspective but Airfix could / should have made a few tweaks to the interior.
@Ben_3_2_17 ай бұрын
Well knowing that the reason kit's cost me much is down to the cost of the molds this kit must be a bit cheaper as they've used some old ones! 😅 of coarse not that's why I stopped buying airfix years ago

Rotor drop is wrong as well for the HC1, rotors shouldn't bend along the length. Only at the joint. Makes you question the research for Airfix as most of their kits have accuracy issues. Fantastic finish though mate.
@millycarrington7 ай бұрын
@@modelheaven5471 HC1 originally came with metal blades which looked different at the root end (they were 'squared off), these were replaced with the current style composite blades fairly early on, they taper from the inboard trailing edge to the root (as per the ones fitted here). The composite ones are a bit more flexible and can have a bit of sag to them but I know what you mean as they do look slightly odd but that may be down to the rigidity of the plastic used in the kit.

The Chinook is my favorite aircraft. I have built Trumpeters 1/35 CH-47A and that kit is massive. I had to hang it because I didn't have the shelf space. I think 1/72 is a perfect size kit for this aircraft, not too big and not too small. 1/48 would probably be okay, but still on the large side. At first, I couldn't comprehend the dusty rose color you were using, but in the end, yeah, it was a good choice! However, I would have left the triangles slightly more prominent. I think hairspray chipping parts of the triangles would have been my approach. I also think you did an appropriate amount of weathering. Many modelers love the weathering process so much that their end results are often unrealistic and overdone. In the end, you've got a lovely build of which you can be proud.
