Doug,
While I know next to nothing about 'copters, your start looks excellent. Those AM Cobra Company upgrade kits for the 20mm cannon and saddle ammo containers really do look quite good. Nice detailing on the frame and screening.

Looks like you are off to a nice start. Have you seen the Cobra Company cockpit set as well? It really dresses it up. Fireball Modelworks also does a nice right-hand tail rotor conversion and anti-Strella set as well.

Let me recommend Fireball Modelworks rocket pods, decals and if you as nicely he may have some extra parts that are useful, such as the Pitch horns.

Of course, if you are doing all that great work in the cockpit you'll need a Werner's Wings canopy, maybe two. Interested? Email me.
