Let you know in 6 months ... Just pulled mine out of stash & next to the workbench -- ought to make the leap on to the bench in a week.  I'm doing it as part of a GB on another site ...  The reviews indicate that it is a good kit, not without flaws, but no killers ...

I'm digging around for some photos for cockpit detail & maybe the engine compartment but may just stick to OOB.  I'd like to do a USAF artic rescue scheme, but NMF & I don't get along ...

Got one for my birthday last year (good wife).  Looks really nice in the box.  Not sure when I'm going to get around buidling the thing.  It'll be in Alaska Arctic markings for an SH-21B.

Kinda pricy, but there are lots of goodies with the PE and resin, etc..  I think I remember reading that the cockpit clear plastic was a little tricky.  Besides, it's a 1/48 scale H-21!
