This is another "oldie" that is on display in my office. It is the 1/72 Airfix kit. I don't rcall it being much of a problem to build. I vacuformed the doors so they would have a more scale appearance and not show a glue seam around the clear edges. Soda straws from a well known burger joint were used for the exhaust nozzles. The port side sonobouy "rack" was closed up. The USPS logo goes over this. I fiddled with the main rotor and interior a bit to add a bit more detail (note the map on the starboard instrument panel shroud). This is one of my favorite helicopters. A good friend flew early model "Seasprites" during his Navy tour in Vietnam.






I plan to do the old Matchbox 1/48 kit with the resin update that is now available.
Right now it's amatter of bringing the skill level back to where it used to be. Hope ya'll like this one.
