Howdy gdarwin!

The Revell Scycrane is from the mid sixties and is not a bad kit for its time. Lots of detail can be added...not too sure if there is any aftermarket for that one.

The Academy/MRC Sea Knight is a great kit! Good parts fit etc. Lots of cool after market goodies for this kit from Cobra Company and Eduard.

Your welcome.

If you have a specific question about any of those birds there are plenty of dudes here that can help or post links plus many here have crewed  all types of Military, Coast Guard and Civil helos from Nam to Current........not to mention a good bunch of folks too! Most other hobby message boards on the net the members can be very clickish and not very helpful or friendly to new comers.

There is no shortage of informative and interesting Helicopter sites on the net.

Hope to see some progress pics soon! Thumbs Up [tup]

i just (well a month ago)did the skycrane it needs a 1/2 tube of filler

and the body was slightly twisted so i used tenax7 to hold it together and even that would not hold it rightYuck [yuck]Censored [censored]
