Okay, first 1/72 kit I've ever built. I was always a 1/48 guy and a little 1/144.
This kit was a little bit of a challenge as I had several fit issues, especially with the engine housing. Both sides were warped pretty bad. She's not pretty, colors may be off some due to availability, but it is what it is. Thanks for looking.  Chris

That looks pretty good to me. And well done for your first Braille scale kit.

We used to work with these when I was in Afghanistan, now that was some experience.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Nice.  Yes

The Russians don't half build some odd looking helis.  Mind you they also build some mean looking one's as well, like the Hind.
