1/72 Italeri AB-204 Italian Army
Hi folks,
This is one of my latest builds. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to post more in the upcoming days.
This is the Italeri's tiny 1/72 AB-204 of the Italian Army in the SAR outfit.
There is not much to say about the kit apart from the poor canopy fitting and the 2-piece tail boom, which was totally unnecessary from my point of view. It makes you lose time and some nerves on filling, sanding and re-revitting!
The kit has nice engraved lines, rivets and a crisp decal sheet, despite not many decals to apply on.
I particularly like the Italian Army Aviation's camo pattern and the colors.
Contrary to its size, this little beauty will one of my all-time favorites, for sure..
Best..
Emre

Enjoyable looking at your build,I do like the helicopter,but find they take up so much room,but if mine all turned out as good as yours think I would find the room,thanks for sharing your fine workmanship.
