British AH-1 Sioux

Post by keavdog »

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

I’m not used to seeing the old Bell in other than US colors. Very nicely done. :shoutout:

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,
John

Looks great! What scale is this in?

Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

very nice details you updated, the frames are a problem but no good way to rework it. I like it .

Well done. Mine is in a box. In pieces after it fell off the shelf.

Well done. Looks like the 1/48 kit? Yeah if the tail boom were to scale it would be extremely fragile.

Thanks for the kind words. It's 1/48. A PE truss would be great for this kit.
Thanks,
