Wow, any kit for that money isn't doing bad but that one looks really good value.

I love a bargain Ian (as you well know!!) , Did you manage to sorce any British army decals for this one? I dont know much (nothing to be precise) about army helis but I imagine all the warning and info stencils on the american version would be the same as the UK version ,so maybe you might just have to source a couple of small roundels and some serial numbers? Hopefully someone who knows what theyre on about , rick maybe , will be along soon to prove me wrong!!LOl! BTW , nice looking kit isnt it? cheers tony

Looking good there Ian, is the cockpit just a moulded smooth piece or does it have frame lines?

Hi Si the cockpit is two separate seats compartments you have to place the front one in first then the rear but the rear seat sits on a raised line on the fuse half's hope you can understand

I don't understand nothing... but can said the Kit is coming along nicely Ian!
