Okay guys! CH-37 Sprue shots!!!

Actually it was not a complete rebuild. Just the typical items that tend to detach when a kit is dropped from a table.

Starboard cylinder is obviously missaligned. Should connect the door hinge as in port side. That is what happens when you are in a hurry and armed with superglue ... As a matter of fact the whole door is missaligned, but...
Transparencies are another weak point. I have become much more proficient since then in use of Future and masking tape (3M blue).

If that's the rebuild. You did a great job putting her back together.

and tell that boy 

By the way. Not being nit-picky, just curios. Are the cylinders, on the clam shell, suppose to be that way? It appears that on the right hand door the rod end of the cylinder is attached to the fuselage and the left hand cylinder rod attaches to the door. Like I said, I am just curios.

I have one pre-ordered from Great Models Webstore, the price is 45.85 there.  Still shown as pre-ordered today.  It's nice to see that it is at least in the test shot stage.

What is the typical quality of special hobby kits? I like to build the unusual and this certainly falls into that catagory. Any idea of what price range his will fall into? 

Interesting.  I actually worked with a few folks who worked on those helos.  I'm with granddad John though.  1/48 would have caught my intrest.

 

Ish 

Nice, will go on my list, but would prefer a 1/48th kit

It shouldn't be hard to come up with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children decals.

Semper Fi,

Hoping it's a SOON to be released.

Way cool!! Certainly looks a lot easier than the Airmodel vac...is it actually released or just about to be?
