Fantastic Work Clifford. Great finish and stunning Detailwork on the Rotorhead. I should actually get my dragon back to the workbench

Thank you Very much Andy. I would like very much to see yours back on the bench. I decided to use a Satin coat instead of a flat coat. Most of the pictures I could find showed a somewhat shiny fairly clean aircraft. So that is what I went for.

That really turned out great Clifford! Very impressive.
So what are your thoughts on the kit now that you have finished it? I have both the Academy CH-53E and MH-53E kits, and look forward to building them some day...

Thank you Michael and Konrad. @ Michael, once I got the multitude of ejector pin holes cleaned up it was a joy to build. I hope to get the CH-53 someday as well as the CH-46. Thank you Mikey, I will try and live up to your hopes.

I like your Heli. So many tiny parts and the Rotors are well done.

Thanks Donald. I did screw one up recently an Acadmey Mirage III. I forgot to put any weight in the nose, so I poured some BB's through the nose wheel well followed by a copious amount of super glue. DUUUUHHHH bye bye canopy. LOL.

Well that makes me feel better.😉 LOL Totally joking. That sucks. I forgot on one build and was able to cut the gear well further, lift the plastic and jam some shot in. I used white glue on that one. The C-97 I did didnt call for it and I didnt think of it. I said to hell with it and used a piece of clear sprue to hold it up.

Yea, we forget sometimes. Am trying to figure out how to jam some nose weight into my T-38 I am building, as I forgot it before closing up the fuselage. Luckly the bottom of the node is still open just below the cockpit. Happy thanksgiving my friend, hope you and yours have a Happy and safe one.

Thank you Neuling. I agree my photo skills are not very good, I need to make me a photo booth.
