looking very good so far. My t-45 is ready but i have to decal it and that's all. Anyway looking forward to see the heli finished

You've done a great job. I love the painting. Have to say I'm dissapointed with the molded on seat belt (Nothing you can do about that one).
Don't forget the seam above the cockpit once you get to the outside.

Hi there

Nice job! :-) She's going to look great! What will the camoflage scheme be?... if it's a naval version, it good be an excuse to go to town on some stained and faded paintwork...

All the best

Looking good, very nicely painted. I like the scuffing where the pilot's feet have worn the surface of the cockpit floor, something I never thought of showing. Excellent work.

Thanks for the nice comment guys. I'll try to respond to each.
Vlady: Would love to see yours even w/o the decals. Post them soon please.

Scott: I too was disappointed with the seats too. I was afraid I would loose the cushion detail if I sanded the belts off. I had to cut the knee knockers out and scratch the handle for the canopy ejection in the middle.

Merlin: To answer your question it is going to have the desert camo scheme something that was rarely seen( thought I would do something different) It can be viewed at the following link below

hope it works.

Martin: Thanks for the comment, but I cannot take credit for the scuffing. It was in the referance photo I used to build the cockpit ..

Thanks again guys and more pics to come shortly.

Very Nice, Paul, the cockpit looked very real and convincing. And the bird is very impressive, Just can't wait to see this baby got all painted and weathered. So what the weapon load will be?

Thanks Dave for the kind words..Cosidering the Snake will be from the GW1 time frame. I am leaning towards a mixture of TOW and Hellfire Missles. Considering it's mission was to provide close air support for the ground troops against Armored and other hard point targets.
That doesn't rule out the possibility of 2.75 inch rockets though.

GREAT WORK CONGRATS
