[Vic Balshaw]

Oh my………….thanks guys, you've got me all a flush………….

Nothing for today, spent most of it still working on the laser and modifying the chopper where it has to go. Hopefully will have something to show tomorrow.

Looks good Vic.

Many thanks Jerry.

At the risk of 'showing off' (no offence Karl, just jesting or maybe I am 'showing off') here is the continuation of Mod 1, the laser housing and the modifications to the chopper. Looking at the close-ups of the laser housing, it's still needing some work.

This little first aid kit took me five days to get that cross on it. I tried everything from a fine marker on white paint to full decals for the white and the cross. In the end it's a blob of white paint and two decals that I could hardly see, to make up the cross.

Modification 2 requires some additional equipment and aerials on the nose underside as pics 1 to 3 show. This is the mod kit (pic 4) I've made up this afternoon.

WOW!!! Looks great!

 

[Airframes]

Sure does. A little tweaking on that laser designator turret and it'll be the biz Vic.

please keep showing off Vic, it looks fantastic and i might yet learn a thing or two !!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks guys. Am working on the thought of doing a bit more tweaking today.

 

[Crimea_River]

Tweak away. Looks great.

 

[A4K]

Sure does!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks Andy and Even.

Well as said, I've been tweaking away most of the day while trying to fight off a chest cold, in that battle I think I am loosing but with the Tiger, all looks well.

Mod No 3. Whatever it is I have no clue, but it is there, so it got scratched.

Mod No 4. Why the Aussie version is different I'll probably never know but again it is there so we fix it.

Oh…………….. I am having fun.

 

[A4K]
