Not sure about any body changes but this is the closest year I could find. https://andyshhq.com/products/1-24-amt-1970-1-2-camaro-z28

This seem like is what your after. I think you can use a wire brush and/or other tools to rough up the foam surface. You can visit a hardware store for other building materials that can work in place of AK products. Another method for concrete. HTH

@doupnik what are you thinking about for the next product release?

Yeah, with the DWS not being fielded anymore it is tough to see someone do it. Granted this modern but look at the Huey’s long path. Maybe Trumpeter will scale up the Hobbyboss kit for you. 🤷‍♂️

😂 if you can get a copy of the Old 66 decal sheet for either scale they have placement guide for cameras etc. on the exterior. Don’t include the aws equipment and call it close enough. Again that depends on what you want for build, no wrong answer.

Wayne, I would follow Jodie’s lead. https://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2015/06/sikorsky-sh-3d-buno-152711-old-66.html?m=1 HTH, Ryan

The kit looks good. She has a different style of assembly all then paint that seems strange to me but works for her.

Fyi, a new product from Kelik for the 1/72 CH-53D. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/kelik-k72078-ch-53d-sea-stallion-interior-3d-decals--1555171

My book arrived today. Wow, another smashing book Mason. The DWS (belly gun) photos are worth the price alone imho. The action shots of the hellhole and repelling/fast roping are great. The tail art is great and I get it would be expensive for some like the Grand Canyon scene but wow if you can pull it off. Really want to do a CMV-22 now.

Welcome back and sorry to hear about your troubles when you were away. I have purchased from Aaron in the past with no issues.

Yes but the demise of Archer (rumors of the rivets etc coming back), quality options are almost nil. Eduard tried with the Hind and said no more. Qunita is another expensive option but harder as they are individually added and not a strip like Archer.

Swabbies paint up a nice tail. 👍

While disappointed I understand. Nobody currently has any CMV decals out. https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Navy/Bell-Boeing-CMV-22B-Osprey/6937373 There is always more aircraft not covered especially in 1/72. https://in.pinterest.com/pin/pinterest--291959988353038314/ https://theaviationist.com/2018/11/02/check-out-this-awesome-sinister-looking-mv-22-osprey-in-special-color-scheme-at-mcas-miramar-on-halloween/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/805581452068178131/ https://www.navy.mil/DesktopModules/ArticleCS/Print.aspx?PortalId=1&ModuleId

While not a fan of the divots, that fight appears lost as manufacturers prefer it. What makes the bottom gross to me is the over scaled raised panels. Looks worse the F-35 tape issue. Given the appearance of fit issues, divots might work in our favor. Feels like the air intakes should be visible open and not just raised plastic. I will probably pass on the kit, mainly for the scale issue as 1/32-35 doesn’t fit my helo needs but the results so far don’t make me want to change for this kit.
