https://www.flickr.com/gp/159342774@N07/igm586. Helicopters dominate my model collection. I modified the cockpit, .50 cal, and the rotor head. I decided to tone down the black decals that represent the nonslip surface. I misted them with light ghost gray.  I bought this at a local model contest for a really good price. I opted to fold the rotors to save space. Overall, the construction went well. No issues. Of the helicopters in my collection, this is, by far, my favorite.

Very sharp build! I like the muted markings. Were the cracked windows on the cockpit area a kit option, and did the wiring for the rotors come in the kit, or are those mods you added? I can see why it's your favorite!

Thank you Gil for the complement. The windows can be posed open or closed. I added all the plumbing on the rotor head. Used a reference photo as a guide.
