Like very much what I'm seeing. I love all things Sikorsky so I can't wait to see how she'll look finished. Really like the work you've done on the cockpit and additions to the lower cabin!

I've never heard of MRC's Gallery Models line until I saw this post. I hope they (or someone!) would consider an HH-3 in 1/48.

Michael,
There has been literally an explosion of new model companies over the last few years. Each one seems to offer highly detailed and well engineered models. I guess that most are just design houses, then sub contract the actual mold making and kit production to one of the China Giants, who then package the kit in the supplied boxes.

I have the Gallery HH-34, and am very impressed with the detail of the parts, as well as the entire kit.

Doug,
A truly fantastic build. Your detailing is just exceptional. The engine compartment detailing really turned out quite wheel.

I'm really looking forward to your next Helicopter build.
