So, if you are the pilot of said helicopter, does that make you "Batman"?

If i had one of those, I'd have to modify it to make it look... well, workable. But I'll look forward to seeing what you do with it!

I've only had one of those and I sent it out as a Secret Santa kit (which turned out great, btw).  Now, if it were 1/72, I'd have a couple of them...

Really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

look like a lot of work on parts that can't be seen in the finished kit, why do they do this?

Looking good - watching this with interest to see how it goes. I feel sorry for you with the amount of PSR though!
Should be worth it in the end :D

Dare I ask, any progress on this promising build? I'd love to get a Stingbat and do it up as a more "realistic" one of the many LHX proposals floated over the years.

Good Question! I wish I knew the answer...  :lol: Some lovely detail parts, then they all disappear once you get the fuselage halves together....  :banghead: Duncan
They must be cohooting with the aftermarket boys so that we're even more tempted to spendspendspend and buy detail sets with hatches and stuff...

The truth is out there, man... Or in there, waiting to be revealed by an opened PE hatch. :mellow:
