Hirobo Chinook CH47

Posted: Mon May 15, 2006 7:40 am

I`m embarking on a new scale project The Hirobo CH47 Chinook kit , Would the members be interested in a pictorial ( with a few comments ) progress account of the build , as I plan to go electric with this one I`m sure there will be problems so I would be glad of any advice and comments as I go along . I dont know the lodgistics in posting the pictures so I may need some one to help me out here as well ?

Hi CT
I would be delighted if you would do a build thread on the Chinook. As for pics I can sort you out.

Hi Alex
I`m expecting the kit to arrive on Tuesday so I plan to start with pictures of whats in the box etc and take it from there . The easier it is for me to post the thread the better as it means I can concentrate more on the build and associated problems with the electric conversion . I thought this might be of interest to a few others hence the idea of a build thread . If you can help me out with posting the thread that would be great .
