Nathan DempseyThanks Gary!
I always have several irons in the fire, but since these 2 are almost done, they are likely up next:
UH-1N Ice Pirates | Project by Plastic Addict (1:48) Skyraider VA-145 | Project by Plastic Addict (1:48)

DanielLooks great, like a hard-used, but well maintained machine - with some hours on the frame. Which I guess applies to the original 🙂

Slavo HazuchaVery nice job on the helo & rotor - I can almost see the blurred black&white pattern spinning in the air!😉
And with the door slid open, all the goodness inside remains well visible - nice work & agree with Daniel on the "used but maintained" appeal 👍

Nathan DempseyThis was my first helicopter build in a very long time and I'd like to thank all of you for your kind comments. Seeing all the great builds here is great inspiration.
Roland: Thank you sir. This has become one of my favorite color schemes.
Daniel: I found that the AK Landing Gear Wash came closest to what I observed in person. NC Forestry keeps their birds very well maintained, so they'd probably be offended at my build LOL!
Slavo: Yes, I wish I'd have painted the rotor first. I thought exactly like you. I bet it looks really cool from above.

Michael PhillipsThat turned out really frickin' nice Nathan! Bright colored aircraft can be a bit a bit difficult to pull of and look realistic, but you nailed the finish on this one. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Nathan DempseyThanks so much Scalemates, Spanjaard, Clifford & Neuling! This was the most surprising award as everything else on the table was 1:35 scale. I didn't think I had a chance.
