    Here is the first update on my Comanche I've decided instead of painting it black I'm going to do a What if - if it was a marines help. So the light grey nicely weathered scheme it will have.

    I started putting it together and it has some nice panels that can be opened but not much inside so I added in some wiring to make the one panel look interesting than opened.

    I also assembled and painted the cockpit and that is all done.
    After that put her together and primed it up.

    Anthony, I built this kit many years ago, what memories.. a neat helicopter, and a great canvas for a what if scheme. I don't recall the cockpit being so well detailed.. maybe it's just your excellent detailing. Truly, that cockpit looks great!

    Build update - Marines grey colour going on - I've tried to add some subtle shading and started on the USMC decals.
