AH-6J Little Bird Nightstalkers

Album image #1
Album image #2
Cockpit is waiting for Werners Wings additional parts for the AH-6J. Engine compartment and engine itself are ready to be colored. I am going to built the AH-6J with an open Engine Compartment, so I will color the entire engine.  
 

Album image #3
Closed the open gaps with PE sheets since the AH-6J used in Somalia had the long variant but closed floor.  
 

Album image #4
Aftermarket M134 built together. Was a pain in the a$$ but worth it. Way better than the M134 out of the kit

Aftermarket M134 built together substituting the kit M134. Was a good decision ?

Cockpit, Weapon Side Board and fuel tank are painted, weathered and glued together. Fuselage, canopy and tailboom are the next steps.

Fuselage and canopy put together. The canopy was a pain in the a%#. I had to fill a big gap underneath the nose. Besides that, the fuselage half's went together very well! I added some dust and wash to the model and made it quiet dirty, but that's how it was in Mogadishu ?‍♂️ The engine compartment doors, tail and main rotor are next. After that I will paint the M260 rocket pod from black ops models.

AH-6J almost finished. I must say, it was a lot of fun building the model and I am definitely going to get another one to built up the MH-6J variant.

Better pictures are going to be taken soon.

Fabulous build Lenny. How did you get the sag on the rotor blades?
12 June 2021, 05:57
Lenny Hoffmann
Hey Gary, thanks mate! The blades are straight out of the box. Fortunately Kitty Hawk does that for us already ??
