VERY, very nice work! Aside from admiring your accomplishments on this particular project, I am also giving you great kudos for accomplishing that much scratching in that scale 
Again, great work,
Tread.
Thanks again alby,ray and tread for your nice comments on the jolly. I hope my HH-3F Pelican can turn out as good . With a gloss white and orange/red paint scheme , I will really have to fuss over all the seams and joins . Last night I cut and joined Revells two front cockpit halves to each of the fuselage pieces , I also cut and fitted the rotor housing in position . [This time I used all of the top [half] section of the rotor housing ,from the recess where the hub sits right back to where it meets the top of the fuselage , hopfully this will save me a lot of time puttying and sanding]. I’ll post some pic’s soon and you will be able to see what I’ve done so far . Again thanks everyone for all your nice comments , it really does inspire me to put in the extra effort and I supprise myself with what I can accomplish . Kind regards john
