I remember building that Kiowa kit in my teen years! It was the only game in town back then for a Jet Ranger in any scale. I don’t remember it being any worse than any other chopper kits of that time. I’m sure you’ll have fun Lyle!

Well... Im totally NOT into helicopters but couldnt resist an all-inclusive-kit in 1/48 (!) for only 16€ (!!!!!!). Yes, that means PE parts, crisp details, four belly halves instead of two and three very cool paint schemes!

What am I talking about? Please have a look:

Rotor blades are kind of problem. Not the painting, but its space... Thought about doing it like this or similar. Problem solved:

Ship based aircraft do have the charm of folding stuff... some aircraft fold as much as a transformers robot...

That is an excellent choice! I built one of those and it was a blast. I just wish I could find one with the anti-tank missiles attached to it.
