                        Here is the finished 1/72 scale HobbyCraft model:





                        I used Tamiya paints and pastels on the decals to weather it up a bit.

                        Thanks for looking!
                        Dan

                        Woooah... the H-21 is looking GOOD!! Smile [:)]

                        The only thing I'd mention is the forward Rotors: If you're looking at the aircraft from above, the Forward rotors turn counter-clockwise, the Aft clockwise.... see photo:



                        Beautiful job on the weathering and display, thanks! Smile [:)]

                        Take care,
                        Frank

                        That was a fun little kit as I recall. You did a real good job on it Dan.
                        IIRC, the instructions weren't too clear on the rotors and I made the same mistake.

                        Very subtle weathering for a workhorse and a nice build over-all. But for a few years, I may have been stuck flying that beast. No offense, but over-lapping, inter- meshing rotors remind me of a mid-air waiting to happen. All you "Hook" and "Phrog" types have my undying admiration. Bow [bow]

                        Thanks again everybody for the kind comments.

                        Wibhi2...you are right...the instructions showed both set of rotor blades the same way...I guess I should have done some research!

                        Regards, Dan
