Hanno Kleinecke Just look at that winchframe !!! There is absolutely no doubt that after plugging these plugs the winch will be working. As with all your builds, for the watchers the path is the destination.
Wonderful wip pics - keep'em coming…… 🙂 👍

bughunter I hope this will not be your last helicopter, because these are always masterpieces 👍 It was a pleasure to see your models and meet the builder at the EME. See you next year!
Spanjaard it was a great show indeed, very happy to have been there and meet some friends again 🙂

Bernhard Schrock Just yesterday I got a box with the parts as samples via FT (thanks Andy & Félix🙂!). Everything looks very promising: the wheels are realistically bulged and the rear rotor (with 5 or 6 blades, optional) looks fantastic, especially the pitchlinks / articulation. Detailed description follows in my WIP album. Westland (Sikorsky) Seaking Mk41, 89+63 "50 Jahre" | Project by Yellowwing (1:48)
Zbynek Honzik Well done, Rick, for dusting off this fantastic build! What Bernhard has done here is, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of modelling. I've looked through the whole gallery again and I'm once again in mute amazement at the beauty. Bravo Bernhard! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bernhard Schrock Boris, thanks for you comment 🙂
Many years ago I learned a lot from a friend about colours and photography. He explained to me that snow white and deep black are „out of place" on models. In the following years I have had the experience that high gloss painted small models of aircraft look especially like toys.
So this time too it was my intention to paint the model of the Caudron only semi gloss.
Apart from that, I think that very shiny color in natura loses shininess very quickly when exposed to the weather.

Boris B That makes sense, and of course, the way your photos appear on my screen implies a lot of intermediary steps that make it difficultto interpret the real finish of your kit.
I will definitely build this kit one day. Thanks for confirming that for me ! 😉
Bernhard Schrock Thank you mates. Just filled the Rolls-Royce lettering on the side with red paint. Looks imo great🙂. Tomorrow after building the frame I will post pictures of the finished Merlin.
bughunter Great project 👍
Do not forget to add a rotary engine from Small Stuff!

bughunter Directly at the source. May be the double 14 cylinder is the most impressive one? smallstuffmodels.com/p/products.html#!/1-48-Detail-Sets/c/13154092
I don't want to feed the middlemen, I want to support the producers.
Boris B Beautiful build ! It looks like it could be recent eduard, but it's not… Quite some work and skill added. Thank you for sharing even these old builds !
Bernhard Schrock Hi Martin, thank you for the "invitation". I looked on the map: it is unfortunately too far for me. With the traffic on our highways I would need with break 6-7 hours🙁🙁. As it looks, I will exhibit the kingfisher first in Lingen.

Spanjaard you will be missing a great show in Veldhoven Bernhard 😉
Bernhard Schrock I'm glad to see this helo "in the charts again". Unbelievable that I finished this model more than 7(!!!) years ago. Thank you for the second batch of comments. 🙂🙂🙂
Bernhard Schrock Hi Mates. Thank you for you praise / second wave of nice comments. 🙂
Boris: I used 0,28 mm thick PVC / clear material. Please see picture 34 as template.
