Thank you for the encouragement! More update photos. On the home stretch right now.











Something happened to the inside of this window...not really sure what. I'm debating wether or not to try to pop the door and try to fix it.










Thanks again for looking!
Happy modelling.

Great job Andrew! She looks beautiful. Yeah, I'd fix the window if possible, but maybe a bit later, after a break. Looking forward to your next project

Later

Well she’s finally finished! It’s been an enjoyable build. The SkunkModels kit is good, especially the decals, but with the Cobra Company Jayhawk conversion set, Fireball Models Jayhawk decals, and PE, you can build a really fantastic Jayhawk.
Here are the pictures:










I left the starboard side door unglued that way you can look inside the cockpit.


I used a silver Sharpie here to create the silver edges on the tail rotors to achieve a worn effect, and to avoid having to tape over decals for painting.

This is what I believe to be the high frequency radio antenna.


















And as she sits amongst some of my other builds.
Thanks for looking, I hope this build was enjoyable to follow! I sure enjoyed it.
Thanks for looking and happy modelling!
