Ralph's Armed Chinook

[Softscience]

Hi all,

For this build, I'll be entering my 1/72 scale ACH-47 by Italeri.

Out of the box, no nonsense, no b.s.

This is a nice model although I did horrible things to mine...looking forward to your build...

Do tell.

Any potential pitfalls I should avoid?

From memory, not really, I built it when it first came out, around '97/'98, I think...I did think about replacing the 50cals with resin ones but that when I was going through a bit of an AMS phase...I do remember thinking that it would have been nice if there had been more ammo storage in the interior as I imagined that there would have been oodles of boxes of 50cal ammo and some sort of arrangement for feeding the 20mms and grenade launcher...there's also no sighting arrangements in the cockpit but I'm not sure this is a biggie in 1/72...but all of this is nitpicking from what I recall as a nice model...

Just wish that Trumpeter had brought one out in their 1/35 Chinook series...

Are you going to bother with all the applicable stencils and markings.



Lord what a beast!
