a sneak at the progress of this FSX bird
of course, being a UKMIL product, it will get slagged, but who cares

Don't give us that rubbish about being slagged because it's UK Mil
Anything critiscised is done so becasuse things are wrong..not because of who does them
And as to who cares......well you should

OK Gaffer..understood
It's a pity you didn't make that clear as the end remark can be seen as inflamatory....I didn't missread it....
Anyway thanks for posting here and keeping us up to date

Looks bloody good to me.
every UKMIL model i see gets better each time you start a new one.
Good choice of chopper too.
I must get back on the Sycamore at some point but still need to find one with a complete HR14 rear interior
Regards
Rick

Good start so far.
Theres one or two bits which don't look quite right to me, I'll try to get some photos to illustrate tomorrow, got a bit less painting to do tomorrow. Heres a few old shots off my computer, all of the HAR10 prototype XJ398 which is pretty much representitive of an in-service SAR HAR10.
The gaps are where the big HSI goes, the blanking plate is covering where the SARAH instruments would be.

I found this very sad one on a training area just south of Bracknell a few years ago.
Nice to have some more classic Westland stuff, looking forward the to progress and hopefully a RN paint or two.

From the screenshots, the nose looks a bit short to me. I am guessing it is one of those 'subtle' things, a bit the Wessex when you start with the US original. However, it looks very promising.
