Hmmm.... I wonder how much interest a first responder aircraft GB might get.
Hmmm, definitely interesting. I just started the 3rd one in my stash so I don’t loose site of my original intent, the Zombie Apocalypse :mrgreen: May have to slow down in case we do something like that. Maybe I’ll even start it :hmm:

Ok I’m back on the Zombie! These are so easy to build. The fit is great. Really makes building fun. I changed up the cockpit some and for the 1st time the intake over the cockpit fit tightly and in the right position.

Hmmm, well the cockpit is more in focus in the original pic. A bit vague here. How about 1 big one…

I used clear purple cellophane for the displays in the off state. To the naked eye they look good in person. Can’t get much else in a static pic.maybe i should print some zombie pics and put on the gunners screens? Too much?

Yep I’m building a second kit on this thread :wink: I will tell you there is definitely a difference between kits though. The second one I started on does not have the fit of the first two that I did. And I’m trying to think back as to whether it’s one of the cheap ones I bought off eBay or not. it might just be the plastic that they were using though the color is different on this one than the other two and it’s a little softer so it might be a batch change of all the oddball things to experience.
I’ll have pics up shortly as I have almost the whole fuselage assembled now. Each time I go to the basement for something I put a part on it :lol:

Very nice.

That is a big looking model - what scale was it again?

1/35th. Yeah it takes up display case big time with the rotor out. I just haven’t justified pulling the trigger on the parts to do the fold.

Looking great. She is a big girl, that’s for sure.
