I'm using the Quinta 3D decals, some Eduard PE and the PE that came with the kit. Where I can.
I've started on the fuselage thingys and "Future-ized" the windows, except for the front piece. May go back and do that later.

CH-47A from Trumpeter in 1/35
Well, I stalled out on the 1/35 Huey . . . hope to get back to it soon enough. My stash is rapidly becoming a shelf of someday as more and more "in process" builds pile up. Anyway, haven't posted much on this one. I've been puttering away on the flight deck and finally have that pretty much done.

Wow, that is bigger than I thought it would be for the scale. This will be super fun to watch.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

Yep, shopping in the plus sizes with this one. I think the fuselage join will be interesting judging from a bit of test fitting. I’m thinking some “positive assist” strips will be called for.

The CH-47 is a big whirly bird…. A VERY big whirly bird… think like C-47 size for the fuselage….Brandons_Iron wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 9:33 am Wow, that is bigger than I thought it would be for the scale. This will be super fun to watch.

Cockpit looks great! The Quinta decals really enhance things quite significantly, don't they?
