I'm in!  Been looking for a reason to start one of my Fujimi AH-1Js (I have 12 of them!), and this might just be the motivation I need.  I'll be (hopefully) doing a MARHUK (MARine HUnter/Killer) J from HMA-369, circa 1972.  While not 100% decided on paint scheme, it will definitely have the "toned down" stars and bars, but unknown yet if all the other markings will be black, white or a combination (depends on BuNo and timeframe).  

 

Happy Building!

SO, I've switched horses.  My original intention of building the AH-1J has branched off into building an AH-1G (Marine) first.  I'm hoping to still get a J done as planned in time to meet the timeline, but the G has taken precedence.

I used the old Fujimi AH-1S for the G parts.  Intake screens had to be scratched and aft cockpit modified to accept the rounded J canopy that was also on the G, vice the flat plate canopy of the S:
