This is finally finished - a delay due to my hand acting up has added a week or so to the build!
This is a delightful little model with nice detail - some of the parts are really small & fine tweezers are essential. The main rotor mount is very fragile, and it won't be able to rotate ( the tail rotor doesn't have any provision to turn anyway ). It's just placed there at the moment - you could glue it, but it's still fragile. No fit problems & the filler tube stayed unused.
Aside from the small parts, the 5 part canopy is the most difficult assembly - you can do it with two sections open, and this may be the easiest way, I did it with all sections closed & it was very fiddly!
You do have the option of several weapons loads & also a handling trolley - which is ummmm 'petite' - it would only survive if the model was fixed to a base!
The Revell boxing is available widely, but look at the Special Hobby original, it can be found for £ 2 cheaper, in several flavours!
