Sprue Shot:  Work Done so far:   And no the pilots are not spacemen nor are they related to CB... ;D  More to come so stay tuned....and thanks for looking and comments. ;D Cheers, Thom |

CB: Thanks for joining in and I know your not that small just heading off any comments or rumors that might start. ;D wouter: Welcome to the party  I have never played Battlefield 3, however I did get to fly a Blackhawk in simulation at Sikorsky for about an hour and did I suck at it  ;D T: Thanks for the comments. I have a few pics of the show that I need to upload, I'll get to it at some point. ;D Dicky: Yes Virgina 1/144 is a real scale, and thanks as always for looking. Okay now onto a lil update building is done except for one or two lil items and then it is on to masking and painting. Added a couple of bits to the kit, the light on top of the tail boom and the brace underneath the tail stabilizer as well as the brass foot step. Thinking of going with a two color camo scheme used in Afghanistan but we'll see.     As aslways thanks for looking and the comments. Cheers, Thom |

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

eastrock: I actually bought it off a vendor at a show on a dare from a mate of mine that builds a lot in that scale.
Dicky: Thank you sir. I think it is called that because the judges suck the blood out of you.. lol

That's a nice job right there Thom! I have a half finished Revell kit of this bird in 1/72, think you have given me the inspiration to get back into it again. Now just have to find the box..... Nice work mate! Cheers, Sam  |
