I started this a few weeks ago. It's not too bad a kit, a few flaws but nothing serious. I am going to do it with after market decals for a gray or two toned gray version. I am not correcting the exhausts, not all that bad.Here's where I am at, the kit with interior all painted up.---John

The cockpit is installed, nose weighted and fuselage closed up.
I added weight in the nose and behind the pilot's seat.On the hunt for decals.---John

I built and painted the main rotor. I placed it in the mounting
hole to check the fit, will leave it off until I have the fuselage painted.---John

Here's a better picyure of the main rotor, I also have the small tail rotor and ordinance painted. I'll add the intakes later today.---John

This is basically the scheme I am looking at, 2003 Iraq. Any
after market decal makers do this scheme?---John

Try Printscale sheet 72290, oh I’m following along on your build. Built the 1/35 Academy kit several years back but been looking at doing a wee one some day.

Thanks, I painted the insides of the intakes and added them, the skids and the panels, cheeks on the fuselage either side under the cockpit.---John

I'm enjoying this build and I'm tempted to get one of these kits and give it a go

ok so i've now bought one from ebay, i'd be interested in hearing about the build process and what issues you've had with this kit
