Dave Roof Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Completely cleaned and reorganized everything on the work bench for a fresh start. Every other model I've finished this year, or will finish here soon have either been commission builds or gift builds. This one will be for my display case.......which is currently empty! First kit on the list is Kittyhawk's 1/48 AH-1Z with Eduard PE, Master M197 barrels and a bunch of items from my FLD line. The goal is to start today, the 21st and have it completed by the 30th of this month. Let's see how this goes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Day 1 saw some decent progress. Tail boom has been assembled with only a few small bits left to add. After removing the back of the ALE bucket recess from the inside, Flying Leathernecks FL48-8032 Chaff/Flare buckets were installed. Any small gaps will be filled after boom is sprayed with primer.

Dave Roof Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Nothing gooder than sitting outside with a glass of Tennessee Whiskey, a beautiful woman and working on a model while some good old country music plays in the background. Fall weather for the win! It's the gooderest ever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt B Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Great start, Dave. I'll be watching intently...I have this helicopter and a bunch of aftermarket stuff for it, but I have yet to touch it. I'm sure your build will inspire me to wait no longer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
