Following, I remember this kit. Fun build when I was a kid.

Coincidentally, I started building the same kit at the same time. 🙂 It will be interesting and inspiring for me to follow your building.

@Eric, I have another one too, they are decent enough kits..
@Ludvík You'll likely finish before me lol, but maybe the first I did will be inspiration.

Instrument panel is finished.. not too bad for a few months away from the bench.

Buttoned up and looking good, some minor seem sorting to do, nothing overkill. Typical Monogram.

First coat of paint on her, its a unusual scheme, from my bush hinds set, a Serbian machine.
Kinda make sense as my first was an oddball one

Thanks Guys, its darkened up a lot since this coat, I found the colours indicated were well off after finding some photo's of the originals.

I've added a picture to the project of one of the originals, it shows quite how dark the dark green was.

Looks good. What country. I am going to do one of mine in Polish markings, but it is painted in WWII Coastal Command commerative colors.

That will be nice. The one I am going to do is Czech not Polish.

Sealed, weathered, decals.. Not as weathered as they end up being but I wanted it to look reasonably new

Looks very nice Augie, well done.

Thanks Clifford, a little basic but nice to have actually finished at least one this year lol

I'm sure you will get more done. I have been kind of down on my MoJo also. Having a hard time with the H-19, and have not finished the F-5 either, though all I have to do is paint the pitot tube and finish the weathering.

Dirtied it up a little.

Nice model in unusual colours. 👍
Your concern that I would finish the model before you was unnecessary. You're going into the finals and I haven't even finished the interior of the helicopter yet.

I have a question. According to the photos, this machine had a newer (and larger) type of sensor on the left side of the nose under the gunner's cabin (when viewed from the front, it is the "egg" to the right of the machine gun). You, however, used the older (and smaller) sensor on your model, which the first versions of the helicopter were equipped with. Was there a reason for this? Don't misinterpret my question, I'm just curious.

Hi Ludvík,

So, the other sensor that comes with it is too long and to be honest, I really did not notice that much of a difference between the one I used and the one in the picture so I just assumed it was down to an inaccuracy from the age of the kit.

The colours are nicely unusual for me (not to mention so completely different as what linden hill called for lol)

The differences in sensor shape and size between older and newer versions are noticeable. The new sensor is larger, but not as large as in the kit.
I don't know if you want to address this at all, so more for interest, I'm posting a photo of both sensors for comparison: eu.zonerama.com/LudvikKruzik/Album/9835417.
