On June 4th Simon Oliphant-Hope and Eastern Atlantic Team commenced an attempt to smash the Around the World ‘World Speed Record’ in a helicopter routing eastbound. The times have been checked and the record has in fact been set in 17 days, 14 hours, 2 minutes and 27 seconds. This is truly a remarkable time!!!

The model is quite simple and involves mounting difficulties.  There are many improvements to do inside.  Almost a full reconstruction of the same.  I added the pilot figure from Pavla.  All decals are self-made.

Enjoy the photos.
