Jeff the Snake Charmer***finished***

Our 3rd helicopter GB .... odd for a Forum that favors airplanes that actually fly and not those gangly objects that must instead be flown ....
Runs October 15th to November 30th.

Decaling is done and a few bits have been added. Like the weapons stores etc. Out comes the 3x5 index card to start making finishing notes.

Looking good and on the home stretch Jeff. I think you'll be our last finisher and thanks to timezone differences I'll probably be in bed by the time you're done!

Great work Jeff especially the extra work in getting the canopy opened up and well done on your completion.
