Doug Coehn presents a vignette telling the story of a well-used helicopter "enjoying" its retirement somewhere in a field in Germany.

Doug, just a super build of a very unusual subject, and a ancient kit to boot. Your diorama theme & subject were carried out to near perfection.

I doubt that you had the FM kit, since it only came out about 10-odd years ago. I suspect that you had the HFI/Aurora kit mentioned in the history section, yes?

I really like the detail and paintwork made to the cockpit which turned out very effective. Well done Doug.... Carmel
