She's an absolute peach!

A few pics of the RN variant.
Dave B on his way to a rescue. ;-)
A simple panel for simple minds...like my own.
Love the radio!

KerDing!!
It's not bad is it Brian and the price is excellent

Firing this up last night reminded me of another old helicopter I've not played with for a while.. the Brantly B2 (as seen in GoldFinger last Saturday) so I dug that out too

Spooky timing! I'd dug out an old SAM this weekend, looking for an article on the Portuguese AF; there is a very nice colour profile in the centre of the mag for an RAF Hoverfly, which just has to be applied to this model!

The authors of the little Hoverfly are also at work on another aircraft...the Focke Achgelis 61. Here's a WIP pic Shawn posted over at the SOH. I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.

What a tricky little beast she is too!
How a solo pilot would ever be able to operate that radio is beyond me, but apart from the pilot figure, it is a nice model. I love the 'fun bags' version

Indeed. He'd be busier than the proverbial one-armed paper hanger.
