Awesomely good job! Wow, the "M" version sure changes a lot.

Do you plan to sell this as a kit? I'm sure some resin makers would be very interested in having and selling it.

What is the website? I tried to find it and order two but couldn't find it with Google.

Please bring on the AH-6M version. I really want that version for my tribute build to Major Matt Worrell.

We have the first dozen or so ready to go, just finishing off the instructions.



Working on the AH-6M kit now. The rocket pods will have a choice of empty or a selection of Hydra 70 rocket types.



As well as detailed M134s and GAU19

That looks awesome! Would you be offering the FLIR ball as a separate kit sale? I know some people would want the FLIR ball alone for their SEAL ships, MK38 MOD 2s, Sci-Fi robots, or drones.
