Hasagawa 1/48th Huges 500 modified with Cobra Companies OH-6 conversion. Gary S.
Try EvilBay for the QuickBoost conversion; set QUB48145:
Grrrrrrrr... You made me look on EvilBay and I locked eyes on this one!
Anyway ,I found a set in the US on EvilBay from SprueBrothers for less that $15USD delivered, or you can go to their shop directly.

Yep, no "War Department" here, which is why I was able to both afford and 'just buy' the Do-17 kit from the UK.
Wife passed 24 years ago. Dated for a while and gave that crap up 17 years ago. The women were horrible.
Does that mean that there aren't any good women out there? No, I just quit wasting time, money, and everything else looking for one. Just was no longer worth the effort. Been pretty much content and at peace ever since.

A quote from an old timer I knew back in the 90's. "Stay single and your pockets will jingle".
My wife is the exception. She's part Scottish and is very thrifty. If it was't for her I'd be broke by now. Gary S.

There are good women out there. My late wife was a bit of a pain, (had a stroke and then cancer) but was an awesome lady. First wife took my life away, second gave it back but then passed away.
These days with the feminazi idiots (and at my age) finding a good woman is like finding a perfect needle in a barrel filled with needles. You will just bleed out before it happens.

NOPE! Not even fostering. If I want companionship I will get the 4 legged barking or purring kind.
Love it! One thing I didn't like about this kit was the mounts for the M60 and the grenade launcher, they didn't seam right at all but I don't recall if I even looked it up.
The colors are outstanding! Water stains are outstanding, love the crumpled canopy!

Yeah I got the edward kit and there was nothing for the shields for the M60 and the grenade launcher.
The tarp is made with tissue over the plastic and then when dry sprayed over with OD green and then various washes, nearly wrecked the lot when a put a hole in the tissue but managed to close it up and make it look like a crease.
Now working on the crew and the add ons.....more to come.
Thanks for the great comments and support!
Well, @Darkhorse, you could always ask as someone like me does have all the technical manuals on file since I do have a subject:
Since the kit is done, and you didn't drill out the conical flash hiders on the .50 Cal M2 guns, paint over the tips as if they were covered with rubber (issued) or latex (also issued but not for metal guns, love guns if you catch my drift, and matches your boat's vibe) to keep out water spray.
FYI, I AM a rivet/bolt/nut counter but only for my models or when asked directly as I believe the most important question to ask anyone who completed a kit is; "Did you have fun?"
Since I already started threads on OH-6 and AH-1G references, should I start one for the PBR?
If you ever do want details, and clearly state you simply want to see what you can add, send my version of the bat signal:
