Thanks guys! It's good to be getting close to the end on this one!

Jean-Luc - the paint chipping was done with some Testor's stainless steel and a fine brush - nothing tricky!

Don't worry Rowan, I have a special plan for the rotor blades....

Excellent job so far, Brad. The cockpit work and the camouflage is first rate.

Thanks for sharing

FInished her tonight - it's been a fun ride!

Decided to have the rotors in the folded position to negate the very flimsy rotor attachment points on the rotor hub. Anyways, here are the pics:











If I had some overall comments about this kit, I would say that overall it is nice enough, and builds like many other limited release kits without too much effort. I think that AZ Models should be commended for tackling this subject!

All feedback, comments and criticisms welcome!

Ive been watching this from day one and enjoyed every post. I like the way you got around the rotor blade mounting issue. Nicely swerved sir!
It would be nice to see this as an On Display.

Hi Brad!

Fantastic job!

I think you added just enough "spice" to the AZ kit to make it look perfect. Congratulations!

Jean-Luc
