Hello everybody,
besides my Mig 21 still waiting to be completed, I was fascinated by a very different subject, this Helicopter
7-13.jpg

so I purchased the Dragon kit for the UH-1N

Major issues are that there are many differences between the two, so a lot of scratch building is necessary.
The list includes:
- The big radar dome
- New doors
- The sonar bell and several search and control instruments
- Emergency inflatable floats
- External winch
- And, eventually, two A244/S torpedos
Next post will show some w.i.p.
Hope you will like them

Some more work done on this project: opened the aperture on the belly, modified the radar dome in order to get a better correspondence with the drawing, added a new item in the cockpit and the first seat with belts and produced a first scratch-built prototype of the A244/S torpedo.

HI everybody, due to the Coronavirus threatening everybody, we stay almost all time at home, so I have more time to dedicate to modelling, therefore this project is progressing, some pictures here following, starting with the office now complete. 9th picture shows the area where the internal winch and some other equipment are located, but will be not visible because rear left door is normally in shut position.
Hope you will like them.
Alberto
