You're really knocking this into shape Mike, it's looking awesome! (Hell it's a Cobra, it's supposed to look awesome!)

I've not much experience with Kittyhawk, but I know they had a reputation. I've yet to start my SU-17.

Thanks Stuart! They can be done up nicely with basic modeling skills.

Got the main and tail rotor built up. They'll stay off until after painting.

What’s your glue of choice for PE, Mike? That model looks sharp! Nice work.

I use BSI (Bob Smith Industries) CA glues for PE.
