Ah... I've heard of people that can't dance because of having two left feet but never a Helo - i hope you get it sorted.
The cockpit looks great Mike!

That's amazing that it looks this bad. I built the Dream Models 1/72 scale Viper and never encountered anything like this. You got this though; your ad skills will beat this into submission.

I got everything glued up and one skid on. I'll get the other skid on today. Also lots more PE to add.

She's up on her skids! It's still a little tail heavy but there's more weight that goes in the nose. Speaking of, I have the Flying Leatherneck targeting sensor. The way that Kitty Hawk has you put it on the nose, you can't paint the "turret" sensors. I found that I can pop it into the nose bracket after painting. The gun turret still has to be added to the nose as well. I might end up getting a Master Models gun for it.
