Augie
Oh am in to watch this one

Kerry COX
Hello precious. What a lovely surprise to have you at my bench. !
This kit is gigantic in terms of parts numbers and it's overall size.
Meant to be the military version, but as you know with me.
I hate ordinary stuff. hehehe. 🙂 🙂
The fun part will be scratch building the water box that is used for dumping the water it snorkels.

Augie
Hehe, you meaning me or the kit there 😉

Watching this one as I am umming and ahhing as to if I will get one. allways loved these leggy sods.

Kyle DeHart
My goodness Kerry. What a start! Can't wait to watch this one progress along.

Rui S

Hoping I never see it in real life but here is good

Kerry COX
Wilky. I stood under one as it was hovering some time back. Quite an experience. !

Maciej Bellos
Wow Kerry! Outstanding work!

Kerry COX
Thank you Maciej, Your most kind. 😉 👍
This kit demands that you do your best. The reason I say that is because, so far and I don't expect to, have any problems like bad fit or lack of assembly instruction. The detail is something amazing and the build sequence is exactly right. The plastic is not tough or hard to work when doing flow gate clean up and it' s no brittle where your always braking the fine bits. I love it.

A friend of mine is flying rhe firefighting version from various pla es in Greece. It's exhausting...

Looking forward 👀

Rui S
Excellent work 👍 as expected, super detailing. What a beautiful kit, no wonder the price tag

Kerry COX
Thank you Rui. 🙂 I did get through it rather quickly, but that is all because I had no issues like poor fit or lack of instruction material.
I only hope that ICM produce the alternate load out of the water tank and the bubble windows. ! I live in hope.
The great thing about this kit is when it;s built, just pull the blades off and into a display case it goes. 👍

Michael Kohl
Love this build

Kerry COX
Thank you Michael. It's kind words like yours and all the mates here that helps me keep on keeping on. !

Kyle DeHart
Your builds are always a pleasure to look through. This one is no exception.

Kerry COX
Mr DeHart. ! What a wonderful thing to read. ! I am most chuffed you like my work. Thank you so very much. That's made my day. 🙂

Kyle DeHart
You are most welcome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work and techniques with us.

Looks like it was an intricate kit to assemble. Dealing with the joins while not obliterating the raised detailing must have been a right pain in the backside. Any more pics of the completed build? 👍

Rui S
Yap, That's Great 👍 Looking forward to see the Next photos.

Kerry COX
The fit is perfect. I have never been game enough to stick my neck out about a kit, but this one has it all.
More pics to come, just as soon as I get the Takom "ONTOS" off the bench. 😉

bughunter
Great work on a fascinating kit 👍

Kerry COX
Thank you Bug's. Interesting for sure. The Video of how it all goes together is a real life saver. For kits we spend big money on, there should be a helping hand extended by the producers, just to make sure we 'get it right'. !
