Ah gotcha!
Well-- this one is for a buddy who served in Afghanistan so I will be doing the regular old US Army version
With firewood out of the way and the weather keeping me in, I have been able today to work on my many projects. After a pre-coat of the base color just to check on details, I've found that the fit had been beautiful up until adding the sponson fairings...they supposedly slide over the stub wings but it weren't a very nice fit Out came the clamps
Once that all dries it's onto the rotor assemblies...

That is starting to look near completion now.

Excellent work Mike! This is looking good. Check some of your decals though; from a couple angles it looks like some have silvered.
