There is an epoxy adhesive for metal you can get for those struts, great series, came upon your site whilst looking for helicopter videos, i have now been through the whole back catalogue of videos (thank god for lock down 😂) you sir are a master modeller, subscribed straight away.
Man! Never a boring session at the bench. Your skill and attention to detail is incredible, you already have me waiting on the next episode. In the meantime I have gone back and watched most of your other builds...incredible. You must be a professional modeler.....if not you should be. PS I was just thinking what kind of magic you could work on the 1/48 hustler by Revell. Your skill and that model would be a lethal combination.
Hello mate, how are you all? Its looking excellent now and how much work you've put in is simply amazing. I'm really looking forward to your final reveal of this wooshy thing. Stay safe my friend
I really admire the precision and care you take with all aspects of this build fantastic patient and precise you are no doubt a quality modeller have you considered doing modelling on a professional basis for film or TV?
Here is a good picture of the T55 engine and the rear of the screens for your detail. You could consider having open cowls as there is some nice colours on the hoses. There is a chance to do some further detailing ninetalis.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/chinook-w-engine.jpg
I know I'm a year too late, but that photo, good as it is, is not showing what was fitted to the HC MkI from the '80s. The exhaust did not have the strengthening ridges, nor did it have the cylindrical "cone" in the centre, or the struts that support it. The cowlings are similar, but the FOD (not fan housing), screen at the front looks to be better engineered, and a better fit than the original one from the HC-1. Those were "individually fitted" IE they didn't fit at all well, so seams along the horizontal join would be perfectly in keeping with the real thing.
i look forward to your video's, it is all ways a great watch, and more important you learn things, keep up the great work.

Hi Steve, Hope you're fighting fit? Living the dream at the moment making all those whip, loop antennas and aerials. Still a long way to go.😫
Greg you should call this The Chinnok series ! I am in part seven and you still have not done the rotors
I'm making the videos more concise now which of course means a lot more work when editing. So the videos don't come as frequently now.

No, not anytime soon 😎
👍
Could you have used solder on the metal, or would the heat that was needed to melt the solder, would that have melted the white metal as well?
Just a comment for the algorithm

@@GregsModels i know you can get large sheets of PE mesh from eduard etc. perhaps you can get some off cuts from a friend? and use that?
