1/48 Special Hobby Sikorsky R-4 Hoverfly Mk.I

Here's another Helicopter that I built a few years ago. It's the Special Hobby Sikorsky R-4 Hoverfly Mk.I with floats in scale 1/48.

The kit is quite basic, normal short run type from Special Hobby, the tail rotor assembly and cockpit glazing were definitely a challenge!

I ended up gluing the two halves of the cockpit glazing together with Klear (Future) that I had left out overnight in an open jar, to thicken up a bit, works quite well.

Marking are from the kit decal sheet, Royal Navy, has to be really!
