Hi Guys, I would like to built an MH-6 Little Bird as appeared in the battle of Mogadishu (the one's with sitting bench) starting from Dragon's AH-6j 1/35 kit.
I'll need to know wich modifies, scratchbuilds or/and aftermarket I have to use to achive the best rapresentation.
I know it is a big question but who better than this forum can answers to it?
Thanks in advance
Moreno

Here's an article on ARC on how I converted an MD-500 to a MH-6J.
You'll see I had to scratch build a lot, but since you'll be starting from an AH-6J you'll have a little less work.
Cobra Company has an update set for the MH-6 but the planks they include are not the ones used in 1993, so you'll have to build them yourself. This is a sketch of the mounts I made:
If you have further questions feel free to ask here or by private message. Latter might be better for both since we could communicate in Italian.
