I have yet to finish off anything the way I really want but I am making a dent in the backlog!
An update as promised.

These little alouette 3 look much nicer when it's not on a 22" monitor.

Here is a poor photo of a pair of Cobras!

Well 7.62 you said anything from WW2 that could fly backwards. I started painting my first CR42, and my first go at brass etched parts. Not easy to master the wing struts (see how I angled the camera away from them...). Painting later tonight hopefully in time for November entry.

Two days late, due to me not being able to get my hands on my Camera, but at least they were painted in November.

I'm still in conflict on weather to remove the chunk of metal between the landing gear. It's not really noticable from a foot away and I do seem to have a habit of accidentally breaking landing gear and rotors on 6 mm helicopters. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.

I usually have a habit on watching documentarys on youtube while painting and building, which somewhat relate to the model or conflict I'm currently painting, so here are two of the more memorable short videos regarding the PAH-1. (You can guess which tune I can't get out of my head when picking up my PAH-1s

)

(the nerves that pilot has to have to fly that helicopter into those woods @1:30 in the second video...)

Late entry- just ran out of time last week! Not a great paint job, but it will do. I have a second one that will hopefully come out much better...

I love the PAH-1s!

Our partnership unit in Celle flew those and I got a nickel ride in one. Its funny how the other guy's stuff is always better. We were jealous of the maneuverability of the BO-105, but they were in awe of the 20mm on our Cobras.

Here is one of my PAH-1s

As well as a pair of Kiowa Warriors
