Looking pretty good.  Do you plan to enclose the B pillars behind the pilots' seats still?  They should not be skeletal.

I was not going to,but I think it look better. So tomorrow I'm off on a new project

Looking like a good build in progress there, Frog.  I'm planning on building my big Huey one day.  Will concentrate on a few smaller ones before tackling this big beast!  Good luck on it, hope you make your Christmas deadline!

2022 New Year's Resolution:  Enter 1 group build and COMPLETE a build this year!!  Why Photobucket did you rob me of my one Group Build Badge???  Must be part of the strong anti-Monogram cartel!!!
