Thanks for taking a look at my post, I'm from Cranwell Lincolnshire in the UK.  I'm in the process of building the Airfix HAR3.  Not sure how old the kit is as it was given to me, its made in France and I'm hoping some of the tooling issues have been corrected.  As the kit has no interior I'm scratch building some stuff, never done it before!  I'm also using the Hannants Airwaves photo etched kit and bits of there one for the Revell kit (some fettling required).

I have also tried to give the inside a bit of depth by gluing in some struts and then covering with foil to mimic the sound proofing, once painted it should look ok, if there is any interest I'll post my progress, oh and any CC is welcome.

Below are two other choppers I built in the last year, my kids got them, opened the boxes and put them away again, so I thought well its 30 years ago since...so lets see if we can do them .
