Good luck, I built this model, it's nice but pay attention to fuselage halves as they didn't click in smoothly in my case, and had to apply claps. I used Ammo Mig paint and after market decals.

First problem: Add 10 grams of weight in a teeny tiny part. Hmm. Put some lead in it, but that weighed about 1 gram... I see problems in my future. 🙁

Like cortex said, beware when jouning the fuselage halves. Mine never got right (or finished)

Fuselage halves are painted, cockpit is ready. When all is dry I'm going to join the fuselages halves. Let's see if I am more lucky than Cortex and Spanjaard...

Fuselage put together. Not a perfect fit, but close enough.

Chopper is done. I didn't have big problems with the fuselage halves, but that was in part because I put the rotor-base too low. If I fitted that a bit higher (where it should have been), the fuselage wouldn't have fit and the rotors would. Since I put it in low, the rotors couldn't get attached the proper way and are now quite vulnerable to breakage.
The front window didn't fit, and I had to cut away quite a bit at the bottom middle. No solution for the big gap at the top of the window, though. I could put some putty in it, but decided not to. Part laziness (already painted the thing), part because I thought I'd screw it up.
Itty bitty baby chopper. I like it.
