    I've added a few remove before flight tags and a little bit of wiring here and there. I'm keeping the side panels open also. Still more wiring to add yet though.

    WOW ! Thats a stunning build, looks great my friend ! The amount of well done details and a great weathering is impressive.
    1/35 seems also a good scale for helis.
    Incredible !

    Thanks for the compliments guys. It is a good scale for smaller attack choppers, however the Chinook I have in the stash is also 1/35... It looks huge!, but the potential for super detailing and modifying is also huge!

    I've just finished this build now, just waiting till the morning where I have some sunlight for the photo shoot for the headlines. I put a little bit of photo etch into the canopy and fixed it with a clear glue, then secured the rotors down using some ribbon.

    Thanks to everyone who has followed this build, I really appreciate the interest . Some good conversation and some handy advice along the way! Here's a sneak preview before I post the article tomorrow.
