Planks for a Little Bird....

Most definately that helps! I was getting around to looking at that/ those parts and wondering how I was going to do that. Thanks Avus!!!

Here's another one ... As for the sights on the MH-6/ AH-6 ... do the pilots use the same "grease pencil" targeting used on OH-58D's or do they actually have a targeting system/ sights for like the mini-guns when used? I know that this bird won't have those weapons, but I thought I might leave the pencil markings on the wind screen anyways. Just wondering...

Actually, I just found what I was looking for ... I think.

primeportal.net has a great, extended walk around for the MH-6 ... including close-ups of the planks and their supports. Its listed as a MH-6E, but it gives you some really good shots.

I also came across a few write-ups for the 1/35 Dragon kit that were little helpful. I feel comfortable that I can at least get started with what I've got.

I've spent a good amount on model sets in the past few months, so I'm looking to keep this one under wraps ... at least a little. I still have to buy a building base for this one IOT do what I want with it. So I figured I'd trade the Cobra kit for the building...

I'm pretty much in the same boat you are. There just don't seem to be many good photos of the Little Bird's interior available on the net.

 I did get Cobra Company's set and it is pretty nice.
