Academy 1/48 MH-6 WIF

Turned out great O!  The camo looks fantastic.  I really love these little kits.  I've built a few and recently bought a couple more.  BTW what did you use for the canopy tint?

...what did you use for the canopy tint? 

Hey John, thanks for the pat on the back. It's a fun little kit to build. Fit was pretty good. I was especially impressed with the fit of the windscreen. Speaking of the windscreen, it came molded in that gold tint. That's a major reason why I chose to do a WIF with it. Really, the only challenges came with the windscreen. Not so much the fit, but the frames are molded on the inside, so masking the exterior frames was a little bit of a challenge. That's why mine aren't very sharp. That being said, Academy's windscreen molding is leaps and bounds better than AMP's. The only thing I did was use some Tamiya smoke on the overhead panes to give it a tinted look. I didn't think the transparent green that's usually seen on helos' overhead panels would have looked good on this gold (yellow?) tint.

Again, thanks for looking and the kudos. I'm glad you like it. On to AMP's...kit. Oh, and the Kiowas!
