August, has it been that long since I have updated the thread, my god :facepalm, where has the time gone.
I was able to get back to building this afternoon.
I have redone my build room, Cleaning, Wall painting, new work area and I added a exhaust fan to the paint booth.
Let's start with a couple of items I completed today.
These are the upper and lower door slides. The doors are split in the middle and open both directions. The step has been added also. In the kit these parts are resin.
Not my best picture, but the good resin part is on the left, the bottom part is in 6 pieces.
The resin step is broken also, so the brass came out again for the step.

Glad to see that you are getting back to work on this model. The framework you made for the sliding doors looks really good.
Cheers,

I was able to get some bench time this morning.
I made a template for the bending of the blade.
The brass tube, in the background, will be for the removable main rotor for transport
I will stick the bottom half of the blades in boiling water, then place them on the form and cool with cold water. That will make the bend set for good. All the blade will then have the same bend.
