That's some good whirly bird right there.

Love the camo and the build

Thanks, once I get the last few black & white 'stones' put on and a couple of other decals, I'm hoping that the clear flat that will follow will allow the camo to be seen with full effect without the shine.

Fan-freakin'-tastic!

Looking good, Robert !

Now, can we get an update on the big 101 ?

Love the chocolate chip camo! You've done a truly great job on this very believable bird, Robert.

Thanks again guys, really appreciate all the nice comments.

Todd, once this is finished I intend to finish that one too, I dug out the box I had put everything in a few days ago and looked at it, now I've got the urge to get on with it before I start the Chadderton project.

I'd missed this completley Robert!

Nice job, love the choc-chip camo!

Superlative stuff, especially considering the scale & size of the kit. Love the cammies.

Regards,

Oh, that's just mental!.

Our guys were just happy to have Griffons over there -- they'd be doing jumping jacks if we sprung for attack helos...

I like it!

Nice camo and nice lookin build!

Camo is outstanding, nice work man!

Thanks everyone, I was worried that the camo wouldn't come out the way I wanted it to. I'll get some better photos taken of it later so there's not so much glare.

Here's a pic of the underside which might be a bit better.

Beautiful paint job, man!

BlackOps · January 04, 2009, 04:29:46 PM

Very nicely done, looks great in this scheme!

Well it's done, just have to attached the ordnance and a couple of touch-ups. Here's a few photos of the pods etc, and one of the helicopter before I attach everything.
