Has anyone already built this? Saw one in the local hobby store and tempted to buy it. Any feedback would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey-
I have one of these that I have just started. I'm going to build it for the Attack Helo Group Build with a Cobra Company HH-60H set. It's a pretty typical Italeri kit. It looks good, but not as detailed as I would like. The interior is pretty basic with decals for the instrument panels. The cabin includes some seats, a sonobouy launcher and the console. it includes a couple of simplified torpedoes, but no other stores or guns. There are a lot of parts to the front end. In addition to the fuselage halves, there's the separate pilots door, the upper cockpit roof, and the transmission cover. I'm not at all confident that all that will fit together without a bit of effort to get rid of all the seams. There's not much else I can think to add until I get farther into building it. I think it will look pretty good in the end. I'm going to try to post some in-progress pics under the Group Build subject, so stay tuned. If you have specific questions, I'll try to answer them.

Phil

Thanks Phil and Ga.modler. Hoping to see those pic whenever you can post them Phil. Will probably hold off buying the kit unless someone really recommends it. I guess only a few have built this kit or is this a new release? Thanks guys!
