Hi, Nice build. I'm an ex HC1 engineer (and been involved all the way to the Mk6) and I can see that Airfix have obviously cut a few corners and reused moulds from other variants (HC2 and later). As an example the 'wiring and pipes' at the rear of the cabin weren't visible on the HC1, there was a variety grey plastic cover panels over them that were a right nightmare to fit. These were removed from HC2 onwards so that hydraulic leaks could be easily identified. Similarly the rectangular panel on the right side (same area) is the 'maintenance panel,' that was introduced from the HC2 onwards. Another little bug bear I have with a lot of these kits is that the cabin seat back straps cover the cabin windows, this was (and still is) a big no-no as the cabin windows can be jettisoned in an emergency but the straps positioned there would then impede escape. Many of these things is just me being picky as I worked on them for years so have detailed knowledge that I appreciate the layman wouldn't be aware of. All in all excellent build from your perspective but Airfix could / should have made a few tweaks to the interior.
Well knowing that the reason kit's cost me much is down to the cost of the molds this kit must be a bit cheaper as they've used some old ones! 😅 of coarse not that's why I stopped buying airfix years ago
Wow that’s really interesting, thanks for the insight into the beast itself! Great comment, thanks😁
Having been a passenger on quite a few Chinooks, those quilting covers inside were a light green/blueish colour and always hanging off 😂
Rotor drop is wrong as well for the HC1, rotors shouldn't bend along the length. Only at the joint. Makes you question the research for Airfix as most of their kits have accuracy issues. Fantastic finish though mate.
@@modelheaven5471 HC1 originally came with metal blades which looked different at the root end (they were 'squared off), these were replaced with the current style composite blades fairly early on, they taper from the inboard trailing edge to the root (as per the ones fitted here). The composite ones are a bit more flexible and can have a bit of sag to them but I know what you mean as they do look slightly odd but that may be down to the rigidity of the plastic used in the kit.
I live ten miles from RAF Odiham....Chinhooks make my house shake every time they fly over.....Superb aircraft....
I had three fly over my house the other day ( that distinctive thumping sound only a chinook makes feels you with awe) 😎
They have one of the best sounds in the world!! (In my opinion at least)
I used to live near there only saw 2 chinooks 😭
Airfix have come a long way in terms of fit. Those jigs are great tooling that I'm surprised a lot of other kit brands haven't picked up.
They definitely have, I am sure we will see a couple manufacturers following Airfix👌🏻
The Chinook is my favorite aircraft. I have built Trumpeters 1/35 CH-47A and that kit is massive. I had to hang it because I didn't have the shelf space. I think 1/72 is a perfect size kit for this aircraft, not too big and not too small. 1/48 would probably be okay, but still on the large side. At first, I couldn't comprehend the dusty rose color you were using, but in the end, yeah, it was a good choice! However, I would have left the triangles slightly more prominent. I think hairspray chipping parts of the triangles would have been my approach. I also think you did an appropriate amount of weathering. Many modelers love the weathering process so much that their end results are often unrealistic and overdone. In the end, you've got a lovely build of which you can be proud.
Thank you very much sir! Looking at it, I agree, chipping fluid would’ve been a great idea! Thanks for the comment👌🏻
Bravo! Looking good, neutral tones are not so easy to create depth with. Taking notes as I watch. All the best. Ken
Thank you very much, not completely happy with all the tones but it’s a step in the right direction☺️
Youve done a great job again with this one. Its not a model Im looking at doing but i can appreciate the craftsmanship from those who do
Thank you very much! Why not? Not your scale?
@machmodels not my subject really. I can't attach a story to a chinook at the moment. And I need stories with my models.
I’m in the cadet force and it’s really cool that we have the amazing opportunity to go up in these amazing aircraft every now and then. Thanks for making this model look so good!
Dude same which cadet force? Air cadets here
@@arlenlangham949 yooooo same bro
Oh wow!! I am exceptionally jealous, thank you very much👌🏻
@@machmodels hahahaha lol,you’re welcome
Very nicely done! Great to see our paints in action on such a great build!
Thank you very much! An absolute joy to use, definitely part of the reason for the finish☺️
What an absolutely stunning kit! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these. It'll definitely be a nice addition to the collection, amazing work as always!
Thank you very much! Let me know how you get on👌🏻
That sir was a absolute stunner of a build, I am more of a 48th scale fan, but COULD be convinced to try this chopper, best regarcs from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Thank you Les, as I am sure you know I am the same… however this really felt like a 48th scale kit😁
Really nice. You’ve made a great job of that. I like the weathering. I was going to do mine as Bravo NoWonder but seeing your model makes me think that a lean, mean desert machine may be the way to go!
Thank you very much, I was very similar I love BN but that creamy pinky tone is just too good to resist☺️
You have another winner there Luke. As with the SeaKing I hope in subsequent releases that they allow for US/Aussie variants. Also I hope Hannats if they don't, they should sponsor you. Finally I don't know how you do it , but the scripts for each build don't come across as repetitive or boring given the rate you are releasing videos.
Thank you sir! Me too - I’d love to do one of these in that olive drab colour. Hannants are the official sponsor of the channel so no need to worry! Glad to hear it doesn’t get repetitive, do let me know if it does👌🏻
Great work, look forward to more of your articles in PAM too
Thank you sir, thanks for the feedback!👌🏻
You did an excellent job on the weathering! I will try the technique you used on my next model
Thank you very much, let me know how you get on👌🏻
top modeler :) after i startet modeling 3 months ago i understand your hard work :) keeo doing amazing work.
Thank you sir! Really appreciate it👌🏻
what a great build! Ill try and get my hands on this, great review!
Thank you very much sir! Definitely try, let me know how you get on👌🏻☺️
Great seeing you get some different topics (although I know you have made a heli before) ,and great job on such an iconic aircraft.Also,last Sunday I went to Hannants,at 2pm expecting to see you,but sadly you weren’t there,maybe next time mate! 🫡 Have a great day!
Yeah I think I might be a little stuck in a WWII spell at the moment, over the summer I’ll be trying some bits and bobs out! Hopefully we cross over soon👌🏻☺️
I never got on with building helicopters, I did this chinook back in the 80s. Might have to give it another go now I've seen this build. Well done Luke. 👏🏻👏🏻
Another great build mate! I've got a soft spot for the chinook I used to live near RAF odiham where they're based and they fly quite low over my house all the time.
Thank you! I must say I’m rather jealous, I don’t see these enough☺️
Very nice work - thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much sir!👌🏻☺️
Very nice wonderful build CH-47 Chinook iconic helicopter two big propellers on top.
You mean 6 small wings.
Thank you Neil!
Nice build! Love the weathering effects too!
Thank you very much, always fun to add a bit of grime☺️
Well done that was a fantastic video and a brilliant build. It came out really really well.
Thank you very much, really appreciate it👌🏻
no words simply amazing thanks for the next model on my list
Haha thank you very much, let me know how you get on😁👌🏻
Great video MM - fantastic work, cheers Liam
Thank you Liam! Really appreciate it☺️
You knocked it out of the park again, bravo!
Why thank you very much! Really appreciate it👌🏻
chinook is prob one of my fav helicopter maybe becouse we call it "banan helikopter" in swedish or banana helicopter in english amazing build btw
I must agree! I love the Swedish name for it🤣 thank you for the comment👌🏻
Another killer build, looks like a decent kit, might have to pick one up
Thank you buddy! Really appreciate it! The kit is a stunner👌🏻
Hello mr. Mach!marvellous build.congratulations!thank u4delivering fun excitenes and Inspiration and knowledge. I enjoyed build very much.the fit seems flawless.and i am looking forward to your future builds.keep the faith!with sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg/germany.your fellow modellmate.christian
Hi Christian! Thank you very much for the feedback, really appreciate the support😁
Wow! That was very artistic in the assembly of the CH-47 Chinook! I had a few rides in these great machines when I served in the US Army and now seeing these beauties fly around still gets my heart racing and to see how much care and effort you put into bringing out this model to make it they way you did and to show me how and what you did it with is a lesson that is priceless! Thank You!
Thank you very much sir! I’d love to get a ride in one of these but I think my chances are slim! Thanks for the comment😁
Excellent weathering....👍
Thank you very much!👌🏻
Hannant's is like the department store version of a hobby shop. The closest version that I have near me is Great Lakes Train and Toy, a warehouse-style hobby store with reasonably-priced kits and supplies due to them buying in bulk.
Thanks for letting me know!☺️
Well done, Chap! I look forward to seeing this big chopper in the shop... lol
Thank you Bob! Hopefully it looks just as good👌🏻
Neat! I have a photo of ZA707 EV at Mildenhall airshow in 1991, and shows it in a desert base colour streaked in a narrow hex dark green pattern and Black undersides. It has the air filters, so, abit different to yours. I guess there were many schemes around that time.
Thank you! How about that! I’m sure they get repainted and mucked around with a hell of a lot👌🏻
The end result is very convincing. While watching the build i thought the color selection an application was very interesting. Thank you
Thank you very much! Great to hear it was interesting to watch👌🏻
Excellent work 👏
Thank you buddy!☺️
Very nice job on that one..i have fond memories of building the Matchbox kit in the late '80's..i had the Humbrol Authentic RAF colours to paint it in..hard to get in Oz if you live in the bush...turned out a treat..great display piece..not long after we had to move and i knew it wasn't going to cope with the move as we were just taking suitcases..so i left it in a ward drobe for someone to find..i just couldn't bear to throw it in the bin
Thank you! Haha isn’t it crazy how much affection we show these pieces of plastic!👌🏻🤣
Looks great !
👍
Thank you!👌🏻
really excellent work - thanks for the posting
Thank you very much sir! Really appreciate it👌🏻
Smashing result, there, matey! 👏
Thank you buddy! Glad you enjoyed it👌🏻
Beautiful built Boeing CH-47 Chinook.
Thank you very much sir!👌🏻
Nice build
Thank you sir!☺️
Outstanding workmanship ! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much sir!☺️
Excellent
Thank you sir!👌🏻
Some great work. I love the attention to detail you put into your builds and how you opt for the weathered look rather than the 'fresh from the factory' look.
Thank you very much David! Really appreciate the feedback👌🏻
Well done!
Thank you sir!👌🏻
The realistic sagging of those blades would be a breakthrough for chopper models
The blades roots drooped from the hinge point a small amount, but the blades themselves hardly drooped/bent at all. I seem to recall that these composite blades were less droopy than the metal ones - but it was a long time ago....
Definitely! Makes everything look more in scale👌🏻
nice chinook build ... very detail painting
Thank you very much sir!👌🏻
What an awesome looking kit from Airfix, and a great build too. Thank you!
Thank you very much! It is superb!😁👌🏻
I love your voice. Very calm, clear and chilling.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the feedback👌🏻
Once again yiur work always blows me away. Such great results in a calm, straight forward manner.
Im struggling to decals, ive ruined two kits now because they either crease up or warp.
Could you do a dedicated decaling video? Id love that!
Keep up the great work mate.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it! In the next video I post I’ll make sure to do an extended section on them for you😁
Very very nice 👍👍👍
Thank you sir!👌🏻☺️
You're brilliant! No 1.
Thank you very much sir!👌🏻
stunning build, excellent description and perfect pace. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much Andy! Glad you enjoyed it👌🏻
I had a Bunch of Chinooks over our place last Week , you hear them before you see them , Great build an Vid..
You sure do! Thank you very much👌🏻
Interessting Kit and great build.
I have a 72nd Trumpeter Kit of a Vietnam Era Chinook and i think this Airfix Kit is a nice "Comparsion" to an early Chinook, i order one of these!
Thank you very much! Let me know how you get on👌🏻
Thanks for the build video. It was very informative and inspiring. Especially your weathering processes.
Thank you William! Glad to hear the video was of some use👌🏻
Absolutely stunning. My painting is no where near to that standard
I love the word 'fitment' 👍🤣
Haha I mean why not🤣
One the chunky girls from the 80's I still have a thing for.
Nice build.
Haha great comment, thank you sir👌🏻
CHINOOK!!! YESSSS!!! 🎉🎉
WOKKA WOKKAAA👌🏻
Lovely build. The right amount of wear and tear gives it interesting finish. Top modelling.
Thank you very much sir! Glad to hear I got it just right👌🏻
Absolutely 😊
Him:makes sure to paint the wires and all the possible dirty areas making it look as accurate as possible.
Me:paints the interior all one colour, gives the pilot and seat some detail, doesn’t bother to do any detail for the instrument panel and then calls it a day.😳 this was a really good build by the way!
Haha everyone has their preferred way to model!
Many thanks for the comment😁🤣
Been looking forward to you making this one :-) Brilliant thank you.
Thank you! Glad it was worth the wait👌🏻
Looks great
Thank you David!👌🏻
Love that paint application technique with the masking fluid and want to try it sometime. But I like the effect from when you rubbed off the masking more than after you blended it back. 😅 Thank you for sharing that tip. 🙏🏻 And weathering those rotor blades like that is brilliant, great effect.
Honestly I completely agree! Slightly kicking myself about how much I blended it in! Thanks for the comment👌🏻
Perfect 👍
Thank you buddy!👌🏻
WHAT A BRILLIANT JOB WELL DONE THE CHINOOK WAS USED IN THE LONE SURVIVOR MOVIE WITH MARK WALHBERG TGC JIMMY
Thank you very much!! Glad you enjoyed it👌🏻☺️
Great build. I love that the seat backs hide the nasty ejector pin marks on the walls. At the same time they also seem to make the windows a bit pointless (a real world issue?)
Thank you very much, so I think the moulding of the seats is a little inaccurate, as looking on the real thing they don’t obstruct the windows much at all!👌🏻
@@machmodels Exactly, The upper half of the seats is thin nylon webbing, and the actual seat back itself only fills the bottom few inches of the window.
Mach model I enjoyed it very much & looking forward to your next brilliant build videos
Perfect! Great to hear👌🏻
i have to say for an airfix model this seems very well designed. i bulit the 1/48th version and i remember a lot of putty work
Modern Airfix is no joke! Some superb kits being pumped out👌🏻
@@machmodels I'm gonna have to check them out again
Well done mate 🤩
Thank you very much buddy!👌🏻
Such a good build! Airfix have really pulled their finger out now, almost looks like an Eduard kit..🤣 Love to see how far you've come mate, really impressive👏
Thank you very much sir! Definitely on par with them, haha means a lot coming from you👌🏻☺️
Excellent weathering.
Thank you very much😁
@@machmodels
I’m going to handle my ornithopter, especially the wings the same way you did as it looks amazing.
Great video and lovely build, Thanks for Posting. Liked and Subscribed :)
Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the content👌🏻
Great job. I'm going to get this myself. (If I buy from Hannants and mention you, I hope you get a little sutin)
lovley kit in middel doing it now
Thank you! Let me know how you get on😁☺️
@@machmodels just at putting the bodey to geather no problems os fare bar my fake nails
Exhaust soot marks on the body? dirt at the bottom?
Good point! Flaw on my part there, might go and airbrush them on there now🤣👌🏻
Nevertheless, beautiful model!
So Hannants has moved to London now (sorry, but since the Brexit I wasn´t following it) Been to Lowestoft back in 1987.1988 when I was at TTTE Cottemore (GAF) a couple of times, Did I enjoy it? Still got modells that I bought there, Great built of the Chinook.
So there’s actually two hannants! Lowestoft is still the warehouse and London is more of a shop! Great to hear you enjoyed it👌🏻
Great looking heli. What ratio do you use on the GX 100? Thanks
Thank you sir! Usually 30% GX to 70% MLT works a treat!😁
How’d you manage to shrink down a chinook?? These look bloody amazing
Haha thank you very much!!👌🏻☺️
Can u do tornado model kit
At some point maybe!👌🏻☺️
great video of the chinook all ways like these and ive done a lifeboat and enjoyed building it alot of fiddly bits though. were did you get the holders for this ? and is there other holders for different models ?
You should build a black hawk in the navy scheme
Really nice build! Just wondering about the stand you used for the build - could you tell me the brand?
Thank you sir! No problem, check out EBMA Hobby, you’ll find it on there👌🏻
What do you reckon are the minimum ventilation requirements i need to use an airbrush? i dont have any working vents or anything in my usual workspace, so could i get away with just using an open window or would it be safer to work outside?
You can get collapsable spraybooths and then just run a pipe out of the window. Take it from me, paint fumes aren't fun and an open window won't provide enough ventilation
If you have no ventilation, I would definitely try to spray outside! Save your lungs👌🏻
What did u use to clean of the dry panel lines
Not 100% what you mean here, could you elaborate?👌🏻
Hi do you use the finishing surfacer straight from the can?
I do indeed! Start far away and come closer to the subject, it’s quite intense!😁
What did you use to drill the holes?
hi i watched ones a clip som guy used tamiyas xf-59 desert yellow and flesh color xf-15 the xf-15 in a thin layer aplye referenz : (Airfix 1:72 B-25 C/D Mitchell) just as a tip :) yor end result is quit impressiv. :)
I prefer my colour choice to yours mentioned but thank you nonetheless!😁
Personal I perfer to paint on the spru itself before glue it together.
Everyone has their own style of making!👌🏻
Seats block the windows?
They do… perhaps a slight moulding inaccuracy from Airfix😅
@@machmodels Nope - they actually do that.
Nice build, but I think details are rather soft. Airfix need to lift their game with these new tools
Thank you! Hmm I kind of see what you mean, but for 1/72 scale I think it’s a valiant effort👌🏻
Only reason for the "V" is to try and avoid friendly fire. Not so much the european and others allies, but for the americans..
Haha thank you very much for letting me know!👌🏻
Yep, no nation is more trigger happy than the septics.
Anyone else use vallejo paints?
I personally have never completely clicked with them, but many have!👌🏻
Not 'narrsell' it is 'naysell' and also it is not 'sicklick' it is 'sighclick' just saying. Ex chopper engineer, and got a bit an@l, sorry about that. Great build though I must say.
Haha no thank you for pointing it out! Perhaps I’ve watched a few too many yank videos of them! Really appreciate the comment, thanks!👌🏻
@@machmodels Damn yanks butchering the English language lol.
Y'all only say "nay-sell" if you also say "ve-hickle" and "hwut". Otherwise the word comes from French and the right way is to say "nacelle" while twirling a lively Bordeaux and smoking a Gauloise.
Another disappointing airfix Kit ! You did a great Job , but there IS No longer any exscuse to Not add the riveting Detail to the molds . Chinese have been doing IT For years , Hobby Boss, Academy, etc !!!!
Thank you! I guess this might be preference to the modeller, I personally love rivets but I know some don’t! Fingers crossed we might see continuation of improvement soon!😁
@@machmodels Amen to that !!!
Not the right colour.
My apologies! What colour would you recommend, specifically paint manufacturer if you don’t mind? Thanks in advance😁
Nice build
