Now just get some Helo Drab on that thing and you’re almost done! :hmm:

She's getting close to being finished now
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks Gents!

Well the construction stage is finished - it's a really fast build this kit. Now time for some paint. The fit of the cabin windows is awful, so I'm going to use Glue-n-Glaze instead.

Cheers!

It's a PVA based glue (I'm guessing) that is good for attaching clear parts and actually making small bits of Glazing - I did the upper windows of my OH-6 with it years ago.
