Great start Lyle - another of my favourite types.

Thank you Stuart and Mike. It is a bit rough, but not too bad. Dark OD will cover a lot! :giggles:

Looking good Lyle. I hear the Impala calling in the background...
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

Hmmm, I wondered what that noise was!

Excellent work Lyle and commendations to Fermis for the canopy. I did the 1/72 scale version of that same helicopter in Marine markings. I was trying to do as good a job as possible because it was kind of a tribute build for a friend of mine who was a door gunner on that bird in Vietnam. I fell well short of my expectations.

Looking forward to seeing more on this Lyle!

Thanks, Mark. I hope it will be presentable.

I'm sure it will be more presentable than the one I did! You got this Lyle!
