Thanks people!

Adrian, the blades were bent a little.

Cheers!


I think naturally with helicopters is that when the heli is stationary the blades just tend too droop

Nice build too Brian

Great job and great photography.  That shot of the tail and interior looks ominous.  I can imagine more than one G.I. looking into that cavern and thinking "This is it!"

Very nice build, the window framing is very well done, I'm envious of your nicely curved corners! I like the colour combinations you've used, I'll have to reference them for future use.
