Sweet looking kit dude!!
That will look cool when she's built.


You should really consider using photobucket to host your photos Eric.
It adjusts the format and resizes your photos automatically for forums.
It also doesn't crash the forum like attachments do.
Attachments use bandwidth and that will shut the forum down when there's too many of them.

Can't wait to see it go together! I've only had the Revell Apache kit, it's real garbage and gave it to my kids as practice. We're painting an alternate history camo scheme now. Good luck on your build!

It wont be on par with some of the spectacular builds im seeing in these threads but i feel it will be good, got the cockpit together and inside the fuselage halves, its starting to look like a rotor winged thingy.

Tiny bits of progress, almost ready for paint, handholds and various and numerous antenna plastered on this thing, tail rotor together and on, rear elevator and tail wheel on, now on to my nemesis.... the main rotor.

All one color and getting the decals laid! On the final stretch, some of the decals were trying my patience and im hoping the repeated microsol applications help get them to settle on the rivet detail, but not holding my breath.
