Had this kit some considerable time. Mouldings look good. Just started with the insides.

Into three figures.
Cockpit done.
Main fuselage parts together.

Soon.
Very soon ?
There's a build of the 1/48 Academy kit of the CH-46E in US Marine service in this February's SAM and it's a good looking aircraft.

A bit big for me.
Nice work so far Chris.

Started the masking.
Patience will be a virtue!
Two coats of green on. Detail to add, then decals.
Hi Chris,
Now it is beginning to look like a 'Frog'
Bet the markings will enliven it a lot!

The new HobbyBoss catalogue has enough helicopters to keep you going for the next twenty years if you add them to your stash.

Sounds like that 'take a look' might be expensive. Eeeeks!

Could be. Found nothing yet of interest.
Don't you mean, nothing you haven't got in your stash?

Maybe you're right.
Perhaps the choice is too much.

The decals are on. There were a lot and they took a while. Colourful anyway.
Just a coat of varnish to apply now.
Nearly there!
Another great chopper. Can I say that or will the Woke Police re-write it?

You can say that, the Woke Police are off duty today........
But it is very nice to see it in all those colourful markings, the certainly brighten it up.
A nice looking Frog, almost a Prince Charming.
This is now finished. I had a little difficulty with the decals. They went on well; just that the invisible bits are not quite as invisible as thet ought to be.
Looks good, well done with decals, they seem to be my constant nightmare!
Looks great does it take off ::) ::)
Very impressive Chris

Only when evading zombies.
Thanks for the comments chaps.
Looks good to me Chris.
Looks even better now it's decaled. Well done.
