Basuroy Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hello everyone , this is the excellent 72nd scale kit of the snake that I assembled as part of the 70's NATO group build presently going on . The machine depicts an 8th cavalry heli based out at Mainz -1973 though I weathered it as if it were flying 3 sorties a day in Vietnam ; the kit goes together really well and very well detailed , I especially liked the comprehensive selection of armaments provided . Painted with acrylics and weathered using airbrush post shading , oil wash and chalk pastel for simulating dust . Regards , Basu Roy 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydWerner Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Excellent work. Love it. Wish you would have used the Werner's Wings tail rotor though. Both AZ and Special Hobbies have the incorrect tail rotor. As an ex-Cobra driver it just bothers me some. It doesn't detract from your great work Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't detract from your great work Floyd Thanks , it must have been sheer fun to fly this very sleek chopper ; Didn't know about the rotor and appreciate the clarification as I will prolly purchase another one of these kits , preferably one that has decals for the Turkish machines ( like their camo ).
