Here are some pics of a AH-6J little bird control panel. Using Dragon'd 1/35 MD 500 Defender, i scratchbuilt the control panel and center panel. The instruments are 1/25 dragracing decals from Slixx. Little more work on the seats and i can slide this baby in.
The un-painted parts where taken before i owened a digitail camara.

Mother,
Looks great. Keep us posted on your progress.
One tip, on the MH-6J kit, the tail rotor pedals are narrowed to allow clearance for the wider instrument panel. Basically, the angled end pieces are cut off (about 2-3 mm from outer edge) on all 4 pedals, easy fix.

Howdy mother,
Really nice work there sir. Your instrument panel looks great, but I especially like your scratched harness assembly. I feel like I could just 'click' em together and power up!

EDIT: Hey, speaking of Loach's......sry, "Little Birds", what ever became of those "re-release" rumours?
