Did this one for a group build. Not a bad kit, but needed a bit of work.

Re: British AH-1 Sioux
I’m not used to seeing the old Bell in other than US colors. Very nicely done.
Which kit is this?

Re: British AH-1 Sioux
This was the Italeri kit. Comes with US, British and Italian markings. The truss is way out of scale - scales out to about a human arm. Other than that it's not bad. It comes with a couple guns (mounted on the US version) that are worth keeping - M60s I think. Nicely done.
Thanks,

Re: British AH-1 Sioux
very nice details you updated, the frames are a problem but no good way to rework it. I like it .
Re: British AH-1 Sioux
Well done. Mine is in a box. In pieces after it fell off the shelf.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: British AH-1 Sioux
Well done. Looks like the 1/48 kit? Yeah if the tail boom were to scale it would be extremely fragile.

Re: British AH-1 Sioux
Thanks for the kind words. It's 1/48. A PE truss would be great for this kit.
