Really diggin the copters and that Falklands War duo...
Thank you Manny. I really like the way the Harrier came out. I painted it with the Humbrol paint that came with the kit.

It's nice to see some choppers, and some Falklands era stuff as well. I have to say though I really like that AWACS - it's always nice to see a good 1/144 build.
Thank you Portman. The AWACS was done at the request of the wife...our second oldest is a radar guy on them.

Thank you Lyle! I have very eclectic model taste. The Pucara was a real adventure to build.

Thanks! The droop came with the Havoc...the Hip I used a bowl a bit smaller than the blades. Put the blades in the bowl and poured almost boiling water on them. I left them in too long as they drooped too much. I had to bend them back a little.

Thank you sir... :blush: :blush: :blush:

I too like the Hip...I used aftermarket resin to make it into a EW bird.

BTW that Beaufighter was painted with Vallejo. :bag:
