Completed: Gran Models 1/72 scale Russian Mi-1 Hoplite Soviet Air Force 1950




Completed: Hobby Boss 1/72 scale CH 46 Sea Knight, US Marines HMM 262:







'Nuff said.

More armor models finished in the Armor Forums as well. Check them out too if you like.


Thanks for looking. Comments are welcome.

Thanks guys. Now I'm hoping to get the CH-53 done. Should be done in another two or three days. I appreciate the comments and acknowledgements.

Thanks Jeremy. I guess I was typing when you responded. That Mi-1 was a fun little beast to build. I did have a tough time with the 3-part canopy though, and the attachments for the main rotors are pretty delicate. 

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it very much.

Nice looking '46 Thumbs Up [tup]...the only thing I see wrong at first glance is that you got the forward and aft rotor heads mixed up.  Confused [%-)]

 When viewed from above the forward head should rotate counter-clockwise and the aft head should rotate clockwise.

Thank you Model Maniac. I appreciate it. Glad to see you stop in here.

 

J, thanks guy. Good thing I didn't glue them down! I usually don't glue the rotor heads on my helicopters if I can get away with it; makes it easier to transport them to shows and meetings. I'll pay more attention to where I put them when I transport it. I appreciate you catching that for me.
