Ok, finally getting a start here.

Will be building the Sikorsky SH-3 "66" used to recover the Apollo 11 capsule following the first moon landing.

I will be using the 1/72 Testors (Fujimi) SH-3H kit, which also includes the option to build the earlier SH-3D. Using the Apollo Decals for "Old 66" which includes 4 options to represent the helicopter during Apollo 8, Apollo 10, Apollo 11 and Apollo 12.

Got some work done.

Based on the decal instructions "66" was a standard ASW SH-3 with only the dipping sonar temporarily removed. The kit doesn't allow for that option so I had to trim the sonar well so that it would fit within the hull with the plug in place.
