I haven't done a chopper in a while so I will dunk myself in at the deep end the pe on this one is small but as I have grown to love the stuff.
Bit's that have been done so far are the seats with a bit of pe and the seat belts have been started.
I havn't decided witch scheme i will do but more than likley i will do the camo optionP1010931.JPG P1010932.JPG P1010930.JPG P1010929.JPG

I have read some reviews of this kit and it looks really nice, I have to get one aswell soon :smiling:
I must say the top left scheme on the box side is cool.

Time for my first update the pe seatbelts are a bit small but I have them in place without much drama and the cockpit switches have had a dry brush of white to highlight them every thing else went together easily

All looking great Peter. I built the UH 5 (although there's a possibility that should be HU 5) sometime ago and it was a really nice kit. Only the nose needed a bit of a spacer to make it fit properly, an easy fix.
