Great work!
The colors look a little dark, but that might be just a matter of light or background.
Did you use Dragon's kit OOB or have you done some modifications?

Hello
Thanks
I use the original kit Dragon 3540 UH-1N Gunship 1/35 without any modification ..
and some trouble with ''metallic parts'' but the rest was ok ..
I use Tamiya color .. if I remember olive darb/flat black/ neutral grey for the main color.

Looks nice. Good job on construction and finish. I agree w/Avus though, the colors look too dark. Also, not your fault, but the wepons are incorrect for a USMC UH-1N. I don't know where Dragon got the idea, but the USMC never used the miniguns on M93 mounts and M200 rocket launchers.

For anyone interested, we actually had a more in depth discussion of this not too long ago. The thread can be found here.
