Main rotor from Reskit. Since it is assembled from number of resin parts, I was afraid of the strength with the rotor blades. So I drilled the parts and inserted metal wires.

Dry fitted with rotor blades.

Due to my very busy schedule, I dont have many opportunities to keep building. That is the reason for big pauses between updates. But the model is veeery slowly coming together.

The rotors, wheels and door are only dry-fitted. The main rotor is still to high in order to hold it better during painting. It will be shortened during final assembly.

There are still few mistakes to be fixed and final photo-etched parts that are too delicate and will fit them after masking of the windows.

pato05 - you have decided do not open pilots doors? Why? Your work is amazing 🙂

Kon_Bar - Thank you very much. I was thinking about cutting the pilots door, but then I decided not to and make my work a bit easier. The problem is, that the doors would be too thick and would look unrealistic (like heavy armoured door from a tank). Hobby Boss makes very clear parts, so I think the interior will be quite visible anyway. The back doors will be of course open 🙂

I am amazed at your painting skills ! Do you use a microscope ?

Many thanks. Olly - I don't use microscope - just a really fine and sharp brush. All painted with Vallejo paints on brush and finished with Light Grey and Medium Grey wash from Ammo Of Mig Jimenez.
