It's not a bad kit only issue is around the front window area but not a major drama not doing anything special with the cockpit as you can't really see it and time is a factor :wall: haha it has gone together well and I'm going for the folded tail rotor option just for storage purposes :nena: but again it's all about the time :scratch::

This is really nice clean build and paint job looks great.
But, if its possible. Try to give on high details some highlights (base color with few drops of ivory or offwhite).
Cheers.
