Alan, another one of your fine looking helos! And this one so small in size.
Thanks Robert, not the smallest !
This is a truly beautiful job, my friend @kalamazoo!
Amazing how great a 1/72 little helo can look!
Thanks for sharing the progress shots, as well: loved the drive shaft replacement, among others.
Thank you Spiros.
Great job.
A tiny helicopter in this scale but created with precisement.
Well done.
Thanks john.
Very delicate and realistic looking build Alan.
Thanks Haslam.
That midget turned out nice! Seems the molding in 1/72 is better than with Italeri´s 1/48 kit. Built the big one a while ago and had to remove lots of fine flash on the tailboom parts.
Thanks Reinhard, this one needed cleaning also !
Small is beautiful ! Great detailing and subject matter
Thanks Bernard.
Looks so petit Allan, especially when you are holding it.
Great processive photos, thanks for posting.
Thanks George.
Great model of a really cool helo, Allan (@kalamazoo). I have liked this helo since I first saw in the old MASH movie, and then the weekly series. The high vis panels break up the green nicely.
Thank you George.
Very neat work as always, I love the shadows created in the photographs, they really add to the realism, definitely liked. P.S. That's three Georges in a row.
Thank you George, how often does that happen !
Nicely done Allan! Always appreciate your focus on 1/72 😉
Thanks Greg, 1/72 rules !
Wow, really nice work. Looks great!
Thanks Bob.
