Frantz44now I have to empty the putty tube to complete the fuselage extension. then sanding etc... after that I will have to drill the windows.

iceNice job! What will you use for the windows? Do you have some in your spares box?
I wonder why there's no decent EC725-kit out there...?

Frantz44You 're guessing well, I am using windows from spares box.
No EC725 / EC225, it is a shame because so many users use this helicopter: China / korea / Japan / Malaysia / Indonesia / Thailand / Singapour (on order) / Mexico / France /Vietnam / Kuwait (on order).
Let's hope the scratchbuilding "murphy's law " won't strike too quickly...
New pictures posted: windows and dog house installed. some corrections of the rear fuselage underway (too skinny).

Marcelo PaivaAlso Brazil. We operate the EC725 - built locally by Helibras - on Army, Navy and Air Force. Good effort! It´s a hard mission Frantz44. Will follow.

Łukasz GlińskiInteresting project, I admire your perseverance. And indeed it's a pity nobody makes such kit...
