just got this....

For those who are following, an up date on the PACV.
An intresesting kit, though it does have one or three propblems, small parts fit is bad in places, over engineered in others.
Oh well, do as I can...must get back to that Connie LOL.....maybe after the Little bird and the Cobra.....

That floor looks excellent....very weathered and dirty as I imagine it would be.

A few more detail shots. Notice how much lower it sits compared to a Hughes 500. Gary S.

And a few more. The Nam birds didn't have the cable cutter. Gary S.

Actually this one looks kind of cool!

Well, I did say patience is a virtue! Academy's next release is the OH-5D and look at the decals, @Heavens Eagle!
@Darkhorse, one step closer to a 'Nam Loach!

One thing though, the Japanese sharkmouth OH-6D never flew marked like that as it was simply a vinyl sticker put on during the static display during the open house. Look closely at 31188 where it is more obvious:

 

[Darkhorse]

what scale is that? Mr Sharkmouth?

 

[Sharkmouth]

48th, Apologies, it is 1/35th scale. It still has the too long skid legs, the 5 bladed rotor head, the thicker tail boom but the canopy is complete.

Finished off the academy job.....looks okay at a distance LOL.
I have plenty of time to wait for a good 1/48 kit.
Putting that mouth on the PACV was a real chore, but certainly looks really neat on it!
