Looks great.  One question; 

(used the TLAR method for determining what color to use).

What is the TLAR method for determining color?

Hi Gino,

Thanks for the kudos. TLAR= That Looks About Right.   I went with the color I felt looked the best to me.

Cheers,

Nice looking build! 

Question for you:  Did the winch come with the kit?  If not, where did you get it?

Hi Rocky,

Thanks for the compliment. The hoist came from a RoG Bell 412 KLu kit (it was reshaped slightly to represent the type used on the HH-65A), and the mount was made from styrene rectangle stock.

Cheers and thanks again!

Thanks Don,

It was a challenge, but worth it in the end (that forward fuselage with all those clear parts had me frustrated to no end). I'm sure the Israelis used the 366G (According to the IDF/AF website, the origin is listed as Aerospatiale in Texas) but it would have been too much of a hassle to correct the fenestron, engine housing, and exhausts (okay, I'm lazy )

BTW, are you going to be at the meeting this Saturday?

Cheers,

Yes,  I'll be there. See you there? Don

Yep, I'm going. Gotta have my T&T fix for one, and two, end of the year MOY stuff.

See ya Saturday!
