mattheww Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks guys, Not sure on cost yet as every time I look at the kit I see more things that can be improved. Working on the rear bulkhead and fuel tank at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattheww Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Here is the progress so far. Rear bulkhead was remade to have a much better fit especially now the fuselage openings are opened up and the poor fitting kit part is very obvious. The fuel tank and other fittings will be incorporated into a single casting. Fast rope frame mounting brackets added to both sides of the fuselage. They are held in position with PVA glue so they can be removed later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Holy mother of God, some nice detail work you are doing on the little bird Matt. Look at your Black Op Models...you're the modeler that is doing the Gun Truck Dio. So, we are in for a very cool Helo project here. Btw, like your details in guntruck will some of these Little Bird stuff be up for sale too? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
