Front antennas (?) made of needles, so I don;t break them too quickly.

Engine cowling is too long and collides with the radar dome.

Moreover the radar dome needs to be sanded inside to ensure the smooth fit once painted.

And I managed to lose the winch during painting, so I had to find something to build a new one.

Thank you, I keep on finding more and more error in this kit 🙂 Today I found out (bit late, I know) that the engine side vents do not appear on the real thing (one of them is covered by the anchor sign on the boxart)

Finally I got the replacement decals from Mr.Decal and could start decalling and washing.

Thank you guys. I finished decalling, washing and installing the transparencies. Now I can't locate the rear rotor mounting parts and lifting hook, so I consider scratchbuilding them. Long live the Carpet Monster!😉

Completed yesterday, the pics were just taken this afternoon in the lovely (almost Italian) sun. It's not Ronan's level, but I'm happy with the result, although the kit has couple of unresolved issues - the too low torpedo pylons being the most significant.

Congratulations... I wish someday I could build the Fujimi kit to a result half as good...

Awesome! Interesting subject. 🙂

Thanks a lot gentlemen, glad you like it. 🙂
Alec, aside from the errors I mentioned, the kit itself is rather easy and well fitting, but the designers took some wrong assumptions.

Very Nice build Lukasz, I like the idea to use needles as replacement for the antennas

Thanks Erik, I'd love to use some turned aftermarket stuff, but there is none available for the 1/72 Hueys (Master Co. are you reading this?😉 ) And I knew I would have broken them multiple times otherwise 😄
