Here is my completed MH-6J Mission Enhanced Littlebird (MELB) with planks for the Operators and Rangers to catch a ride on. I used the DML 1/35 AH-6J kit and added the troop planks from the Cobra Company kit, courtesy of Albymoore and a resin copy of the FLIR turret from the Academy MH-60 DAP kit, courtesy of Avus. The FLIR screens in the cockpit are scratched from left over resin pour plugs. I also added the FLIR joystick that is not mentioned in the Cobra Company kit either. Decals are custom made, also compliments of my good buddy Avus. They are all there, along with black United States Army along tail boom and black registration code on the sail, they are just hard to see. Finished in overall MM Aircraft Interior Black, drybrushed with MM Gunship Gray, then black again. Here it is.
Hope you like it.

Hey Gino i'm sorry that i missed this thread. I know it's a little late...but better than never. Your MH-6 looks great. Very nice and clean build. The front canopy came out good, thier a pain to install i did two. your's looks as if it fell in to place with no problum. The worn out and faded paint jobs also looks good. I like a the little detail you did, right down to the grab handles at the cockpit doors. I have one started and after seeing your i want to pull mine back out to finnish it. I'm doing the MD500 and converting it into the MH-6. I only hope that it turns out as good as yours.
It feels like bible camp…Only I’m not crying pretending I’m somewhere else.
