Pictures of my completed Merlin

Really enjoyed this build - went together well and no real problems,
The interior detail is amazing with the cabin and exterior skin being seperate, it really does look realistic,
the large black decals on the roof need some care to get right though - lots of micro sol and micro set needed here,
it's big - 17 inches long and a rotor diameter of 16 inches.
would i recommend one for your stash ... no - it has to be built

i hope Airfix consider a naval version with folded rotors option, it would go to the top of my wish list.

OOh very nice.
Been hoping someone on ISM would do one of these.
Will have to pick one up when I get the chance.

Great build. I saw one of these up close at an airshow this summer. What an awesome aircraft it is.

Very nice build graham and I reckon a wash would add some more detail to it

Very nice! I have an Italeri Apache in my stash. Makes me want to bust it out.

nicely detailed,
you build the interior then build the fuselage around it
excellent model, I had few problems with the build
I'd certainly recommended getting one, I hope they do a naval version soon
