Allan,

I remember building that kit when it was first released. I put it together and brush painted it in an afternoon. Sure brings back some fond memories.

Thanks for looking Scott.

Some masking on the red, a coat of green on with a bit of filling needed and drilling out the rear of the rocket pods !

Looking good - I like the drilling of the pods, it's that sort of attention to detail that makes all the difference!
Allan J Withers said 4 years, 3 months ago:

Thanks Erik, skids on and needing a bit of paint !

This little chopper has all of the trademarks of an Allan Withers build... Crystal clear canopy, 1/72 scale, and flawless paint ! I can always pick your work out from others. Looks great my friend...and drilling out the rocket pods was a very nice touch.

I'll bet it will come to life as soon as you install the rotors... Looking good Allan.
Allan J Withers said 4 years, 3 months ago:

Thanks Louis, a bit lifeless at the moment !
Erik Gjørup said 4 years, 3 months ago:

Shiny! looking forward to the finished chopper. Well done so far especially with an old kit! '68 molds as far as I recall.
Allan J Withers said 4 years, 3 months ago:

Thanks Erik, yes 1968 molds 1988 box, decals are on, needs a coat of flat clear and some detailing !
