Think I did the Revell version of this, good kit but takes up a lot of rotor space!!. It does have the drooped rotors if it's the same kit. I hope it's not the case with yours but my Revell one had very soft cockpit window(s). They bent without snapping and could have marks put in them with clippers without snapping them. I cut them into five parts and added them from the outside in. As I say, hope this isn't the case with yours, just recalling my build.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Nice to see a big helicopter being built.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Some paint has gone on plastic and the Eduard masks have arrived. Also, after reading a couple of reviews, the Gator glue has arrived to tackle the canopy
