                        Very sweet. USCG would look right at home in that one. Nice job. What did you say that model was again?

                        It's Hellers 1/35 Super frelon.....you can find one on ebay most of the time...20.00 to 40.00 in that range, from what I have heard that kit will be re-released this year! could be pricey though.

                        WOW! Unbelievable!

                        I just saw another one that looks the same as that
                        on another board. What are the odds on that?

                        A most excellant build. Love what you did (by what I can see) on the interior rear - are the seats scratch?

                        Cool list of kits DUDE!!

                        wibhi2,

                        The interior is all in the kit!....I noticed that the bench seats could be put in the up position with some care, I put most in the down position and snuck a medivac stretcher from that 1/32 scale Revell of Germany ADAC Eurocopter model.

                        Thanks for the kind words all!
