Decals on curved areas are a PITA.... I’d give it a little slice and re-apply solution again. She’s almost done, Lyle! Well done!

This turd is done. Decals were terrible, and my normal foibles contributed greatly. I guess my heart was not in it. It was on the bench too long. Onward and upward and more betterer.

Many thanks!

There is not much I like about this build. The overall kit was not too bad, though. Thanks again.

Man I dig those old rotary bulbous nose helos. Looks like you got that nose decal to settle down. Right on Lyle - now find some shelf space - choppers are shelf hogs.
Thanks,
John
