Good show.

Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

I painted the outer army green, but my camera malfunctioned and I lost the shots.

Very close to complete on this one.

The crew are painted and the interior given a wash

Hueys had tinted windows over the command crew, so I painted this with clear green

The interior and engine and windows are glued in the fuselage which is joined, putty was needed here

The putty is done and the paint touched up, the skids, guns and missles added, as well as the doors and rear fins

Kit is glossed and decals added

The rotor is painted and added

And the job is done!
