Looking good. I have a Pilot in Command and a Trainee. That's why they're wearing different jumpsuits.

I starting to think this is one of the worst kits I've ever built. The flash and fit are crap.

I agree, nothing worth pictures tonight, just minor exterior details attached and puttying up the numerous mini potholes in the doors.
Like I mentioned to Pantherman, this is the helicopter version of the black widow.

 

[TimM63]

Agreed

I can already tell the doors are going to be fun.

The Italeri kit seems pretty good for flash so I'm not having as much hassle as you. I will let you know about any fit issues when I get there. Pantherman

Revell builders just need to be smarter than the kit. Leave the flackhammer on the desk while you work on it, it will comply.

Nothing new on this. I didn't touch it today. Hopefully will make some progress this weekend.

Here's all of the color photos and illustrations in the book for anyone wanting the info or if anyone else wants to jump in on this build.
