Awesome as usual Chuck!! at the beginning of the build I thought it would look like a toy at the end since you said it was going to be shiny and clean! but you managed to make it look really nice! even tho is not my kind of build, I can not but admire (again) your work! you are such a source of inspiration and information! and I thank you for that!....So what's next? following your tradition is gonna be a prop one! whatever you have decided, I'll be following for sure!

Yeah I remember now! sorry! I'd stick with the scorpions scheme! that red tail is just amazing and I personally like colorful models!

Amazing skills!!! really nice job!

In your opinnion is there a real noticeable difference in sizes or it would pass?

I'll see what I can do definatly! I hadn't seen it until you pointed it out! one of the few times I touched it without gloves! damn!

Thnx guys! I appreciate!

The canopy is closed! and as you can see, fitting is really good even if it was designed to be open, you just have to trim the tabs and voila, and you can see how far my scratching skills took me! I made the comunication cables!

If you aloud me Oliver I'd like to share a thought... is really sad to realize this "thing" happens everywhere, I thought it was a third world thing, I live in Guatemala a poor country with lots of ignorance, One just have to get off the box by a tiny bit, to be drawn back in, One just have to be good at something and everybody tries to drop their hammers on them, that's for real life instances, but in modelling is almost the same or even worst! if one does something really nice, gets cursed and everybody starts looking for flaws and they are just nost able to see the effort and/or beauty in it! What is wrong people!? This build is not 100% accurate, so what? it has a lot of work and a lot of nice things going on and that's the whole purpose of this hobby I don't see Oliver around hammering people cause they don't do the things the way he does! what I do see is Gino stepping in every chance he thinks he has, to point out inaccuracies, even tho Oliver has stated many times, he just doesn't care! can't you guys deal with that!? I've never seen Oliver hammering Gino over his shitty paint jobs! EVER! he only mentioned ONCE! and now we have this guy jumping in for the first time just to critizice! not the model but a comment! come on! Do you really like to look like us? ...third world mediocre people? oliver you don't have to be told to keep up the good job, you are just gonna keep going! I just wouldn't like you to keep it for yourself to avoid these cons! Sorry to put more dirt on this awesome thread but some guys just suck! and I had to say it!

LMAO!!! gotta love the internet! 😂

The ones provided in the kit.

Ohh I wish I knew a couple of months ago!!! it's been so hard to find references online! and since I'm not familiar with helos it's been even harder! I hope I was able to make something worth your effort! in any case it's a very nice scheme!

I agree with you! after the wash it was different! in a nice way!

No tail sitting problems! but I have to say that I paniqued a bit when first stood on the skids it did sit back! until the rotor was positioned in its place, no seats, no wings, no canopy installed but it went back, even with the extra weight, so the line there is very fuzzy. It stands like this!

Some "fancy" shots! Apologies for the dusty surface! and until these pics I didn't notice a mould mark right behind the gun housing! I'll have to live with that!
