                        Finally finished this Gallery Models' H-34 USMC helicopter. It is a good kit. Plenty of details and fairly good fit. As in other instruction sheets some part locations are not clear but in fairness I think it came out well.

                        Fantastic. On my list is an H with the engine exposed. You got it right.

                        The engine is so complex it's a pity to hide it.

                        Has more details than the old Revell helo. Great looking model.

                        Most excellent!!!  The first photos showed the opened doors so I couldn't wait as I scrolled down wanting to see how you had modeled the exposed engine!  Gads, nice!

                        Fantastic.  You've inspired me to buy one of these to go with my UH-1D, UH-1B and USCG Bell 47 (the latter 2 I've yet to start though).

                        Small question though - how well did the fuselage fit together - when dry fitting were there any gaps between the two halves at all?

                        I did not encounter any fit issue on the fuse halves but I noted the bulkheads inside should really be positioned correctly or there will be gaps specially in the part after the crew cabin.
