Excellent. Congrats! - A very tempting kit were it not for the size of the completed model ............

Yeah, huge model, I think if ICM made this in 1/48, they would have probably sold a lot more kits.

Very impressive - great details & authentic looks - love the work on all the metals in different stages of heat & other forces induced wear & tear - excellent accents and super-realistic too 👍

Album info

OOB build with some scratch harnesses, and some lead wire and stretched sprue. This is a huge build. Not the best fit in places, (windscreen section for one), you lose raised rivets in areas when cleaning up the seam joins. I replaced them with .5 RP Toolz rivet punch die set. They are bigger than the kit raised ones, but it's better than losing the detail all together. It's massive, almost 80cm long, but the rotor blades can be removed from the rotor head, they just slot in. Happy with the final result though.
