Nice job. Getting closer. -
The color looks good. Hmm, looks like an engine change is in order.

Looking good. Thanks for the heads up on the folded stab support too.

Thanks Gunny. I am very happy w/how it turned out.

Very nice. It came out looking great. -
The Monogram M34 truck is actually, 1/35. The Renwall (reboxed by Revell) wrecker is 1/32. They are both very old ('60-'70s?) and pretty devoid of details. If you really want either, they can be found on eBay, not cheap though.

Thanks chukw. The belts were a bit fiddly to get into position, but well worth it.

Thanks Lee. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
-
It is coming along great. Good additions of the prop rods. For the deck, there is this… I have one and it looks really nice.

Thanks Oliver. Yours is looking good as well and hopefully will be number 2 in this scale soon.

Thanks Gents. It has been a long journey, but a fun one. I have really enjoyed this build.

I am calling this one done. I built the main and tail rotors. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pics before painting them. They each had a bunch of plastic, resin, and PE parts. I washed the whole thing with a couple coats of dirty brown and black acrylic colors. Then picked out some selected parts for a dirt-colored drybrushing. Here it is. I added Dragon Vietnam Helo crew figures with their torsos swapped out with the correct USMC flak vests. I also swapped their heads out with some resin ones from Verlinde

Here is a more clear schematic for the 3-tone paint.

Looking good. Mine is just about done. Should have some pics of it soon.
