This is the Testors 1/72 boxing of the SH-3D. I used aftermarket decals and Eduard photo-etch. I didn't use it all, some was just too small to manipulate. I have instructions to make the video cameras and yagi antenna but haven't gotten to them yet. It was a fun little build.

Really??? From the very first line.  "This is the Testors 1/72 boxing of the SH-3D."

 

It came out looking nice.  Good job on it.

Awesome.

Seen a lot of SH-3D's from the Apollo program recently on my search for a 1/72 SH-3 kit to use as a donor for detail parts for me Jolly Green I'm building.

May I ask who made the aftermarket decals?

Sorry, meant to update the decals. Apollo Decals, and they went on real smooth. With a little Micro-sol they they compressed onto the rivet and panel line details nicely.

My sheet was with the kit when I bought it but this appears to be the place on the web to find them.
