Yes, you read right. This is a first. In 35 years I have not even wanted to attempt a Helicopter. After much discussion with a very good buddy, I said I would. This is entered into an Israeli Defense build on another site. It will be OOB as I see it now. So here it is. The boxart.  Joe |

First impression of the kit is very nice detail. Not sure how quickly updates will happen. I have six months to do this and the 109 is pressing me for more progress.

Welcome to the dark side Joe!  Great to see you building a choppah, you will no doubt work wonders with this one. Think how easy it will be without all that scratch building you are accustomed to!! Cheers, Sam  |

Well time for an update. Slowly and steady making progress. The interior is finished and together. I will start on the fuse next.     Comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

A quick update. For those of you who look to build this kit. Word of warning. The fuse halves do not match up right. If possible also get a different instrument panel. The IP is photoetch and really is miserable. It is to be honest one of the worst IP's I have dealt with.  Also my experience with this kit is now a bit tainted as I had to fight hard to get the sides to match up and still it left a major seam on the top and bottom.   Even with that though I did manage to get the fuse together (somewhat) and can proclaim some progress.     There we are. I hope to have a little more done this week. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

I experienced the same when I built Little Birds from Dragon... attaching halves together was a nightmare. You will do just great... just try not to scream! LOL
Looking forward to more...

Bummer about the fit issues, but I am sure she will come out great in the end.
