Very nice. Cool Yes

I have the same Revell kit and you've done a far better job than I ever could (mind you that's the case with most people's models compared to mine I think).

Looks pretty decent. Good job on it. I don't think the 18th MP BDE had helicopter gunships though. Still looks good.

impressive, Todd. Very well done. You certainly overcame the difficulties of the kit in fine fashion.

Built this for a friend of mine who served with the 18th MP in Vietnam. Still doing a LOT of learning as well as trial and error, and this kit was a very good chunk of practice for me in a large variety of techniques, like preshading, oil washes, lots of sanding/filing, etc. It was just a very big project for me to get it to where I have it at this point. I noticed after taking the pictures that the lights and wipers still need some color but other than that I am very happy with this!

Kit: Revell 1/48 Huey Hog

Paints Used: Mr. Surfacer, Model Master, Tamiya, Alclad

Modifications: Cockpit side windows. Decals printed with inkjet printer. Otherwise stock/out-of-box.

Time to Complete: 5 months (not continuous)
