Hi everybody,
I have a question for detailing, you prefer the rivet hollow or relief ?

this project is looking great.
what do you mean by relief? i might know what you mean by that.
hollow rivets might be easier to do than relief. however, relief rivets i think are the proper design for your helicopter.

The rivets look convincing, well done!
One of my recent models was a converted Blackhawk so I'm interested to see how yours turns out.

Looks like it is coming along great. Great job on the riveting.
I did a similar conversion to model a 1/35 USCG MH-60J Jayhawk a while back. You can check it out here
Also, this really belongs in the Rotary Wing Forum.
