Westland contra-rotating Ravenclaw AEW.1 finished

I'm calling this done, based on the Airfix Fairey Rotodyne kit with Italeri Boeing MH-47E SOA Chinook parts, cockpit glazing painted masking tape cut to size (nearly worked) a mixture of decals, acrylic Hataka paints. My second finished aircraft model .

The folding radome looks much better painted black.

This side shows that I have tried to tidy up the masking tape

Err I can't get to that bit!

Well if ever anyone sells the Fairey Rotodyne model in 1/48 scale it would be an interesting opportunity to fit some electric engines.
Thanks for your comments Captain Canada

One of my favorite aircraft, thanks for putting one together. Great idea, adding parts from the Chinook.
