Hi Guys,
Just managed to pick up this kit and wondered what your thoughts are on it with regard to accuracy, buildability, etc ? Looks like it is on a par with the MRC/Academy C models detail wise, but wondered if there was a review or build online anywhere ?
Many thanks !
And yes, the flexible ammo chutes have melted through the rotor blades, which I understand is a common problem with these kits :-(
Cheers,
Andy

It builds into a decent kit. Most of the details are on-par with the Academy UH-1C kits. The width of the rotors is too wide though. They should be the same width as UH-1D rotor blades.
