  1. Yeah, it feels like a really good deal. I’m seriously thinking about picking up some of their other aircraft engine kits too!
  2. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing—I'll definitely give it some serious thought! I noticed that the store actually offers free shipping and no tax within the U.S., which is awesome. Now I’m really getting interested in their other aircraft engine kits too, haha.
  3. What a charming little build! The use of foamboard is really clever, and the textures and paintwork give the bungalow so much character. It feels cozy and full of life—excellent work!
  4. This is such a cool diorama! The amount of detail in the engine lot is incredible—every little element tells a story. I especially love the scattered tools and the overall weathered look. Great atmosphere and craftsmanship!
  5. I've been reading up on the T700 turboshaft engine lately and thought I'd share a bit of what I found. It's a fascinating piece of machinery with a lot of real-world applications. I'm wondering—does anyone know if there's a scale model kit of the T700 available? Ideally, something that shows the internal working parts would be amazing! The T700 is widely used in military helicopters such as the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, SH-60 Seahawk, McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache, and Bell AH-1W SuperCobra. On the civilian side, it's also used in helicopters like the Bell 214ST and Sikorsky S-70C. There's also a turboprop version of this engine, the CT7, which powers regional commuter aircraft like the Saab 340 and the CASA/IPTN CN-235. The following photos show the military helicopters mentioned in the post, and they're equipped with the T700 model engine. Great to see this level of detail captured so well! It’s definitely the kind of engine that would make for a great technical model. If anyone has seen a kit of it—especially one that reveals the internal mechanics—I’d love to hear about it!
