Just opened the box for this conversion kit. It is a Hawkeye Models conversion for which I am using a Hasegawa Blackhawk as the donor aircraft - 1/72nd scale.
Onward and upward!

Here is the Revell kit almost complete. It went together very nicely. As I got to the current stage I realised there were errors (excluding the ones in the instruction sheets). It has taken me three attempts at the canopy masking. I realised the canopy was from the prototype Osprey. Maybe Revell used the same moulds as the original Italeri kit. Ho hum...
Other small errors include the glazing in the nose as well as the rwr detectors on the nose and rear of the aircraft missing. The aerials on the roof have been corrected. Just getting around to the fuselage strakes behind the cockpit now...

Just finished this one. A Fujimi kit  (1/72nd) I bought some considerable time ago. When I came to build it the decals had all crinkled up and were totally unusable. After a lot of thinking, head scratching and internet surfing I finally did two things:
I bought a second kit at great expense from the usa  (there seems to be a world shortage of Fujimi kits) which had decals for one and a half models. To get to double up the additional decals I neededI bought  some water slide sheets (both clear and white). I scanned in the decals from the new model and I was eventually able to print some off. These incuded the Japanese roundels and the black roof patches. I was quite surprised how weel the printed decals went on - they were very thin.
The model was airbrushed with mr hobby paints and Fiat white and then varnished.

A pair of Israeli Bell AH-1 Cobras from Hasegawa. I was going to display these at the April meeting but because of the enforced home time (modelling time), I thought I'd post a photo.
