Indeed. That is superb.

Thanks guys.
This kit went together a bit easier than the UH-1D, which can best be described as a bit of a pig.

Here's the bird on it's perch.

Love it mate

I have a nice 3D printed landing base, which you have now inspired me to get on with

That’s cracking work Ash

I have to say scale models look much better than die cast.

Thanks for all the feedback chaps.

This was a pretty good kit, went together a lot better than some.
I bought kit No 2712 H-34G.III, all the decals are for search and rescue versions, some very nice West German decals if going that route.
With hindsight I probably picked up the wrong kit, as there another N0 2776 H-34A Pirate; which has an extra sprue of weapons (doorgun etc, no need for all that DIY messing around).
Also comes with a nice looking set of USMC decals (alongside the seemingly compulsory West German markings & some French for Algeria)
