That is one Beautiful helicopter...

Very nice job Gav..
Thanks for sharing..
I know that you don't want a multiblade head, but how about flybarless??
It would sure give it a realistic look in flight.. Just a thought.

Incredible detail on the parts you've installed..

So you make your own molds and parts too??
No I am really impressed. That takes some serious skill and dedication.
I can't wait to see your next finished project...

That is one amazing craft catbalu, how did you ever get 4 blades to track so perfectly?

It's only the decking and background that makes you realise that this is a model and not the real thing.

An awful lot of work and time has gone into this piece of perfection. You must be very proud of it and justifiably so.
