The Hammerhead is off the desk and on the shelf. I think even my wife was impressed with it.
Here's the nose close up ready to spit fire and lead!
I like this model! :thumbsup: (even if I dislike fire and lead, personally, sorry) :unsure:

Maybe a civilianized version for the Forest Service spotting forest fires.

I've been working on an updated version AH-1 "Whiskey" Cobra for the US Forest Service. I have the decals for it but the first paint job failed and I want to make the bulged side windows for it. Maybe I'll get back to it soon if I finish a couple other things.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I can't believe its been this long since I updated this. A little trouble with Flickr decide it wouldn't let me upload any more pics unless I paid a monthly fee. Luckily I had started an account for my wife she never used so its picking up the load for now. Anyway, here's a photo dump of the nearly completed Mako.
