This is the excellent kit from Monogram. The cockpit is fantastic right out of the box, no aftermarket needed here! I did add the helmet rails and a scratchbuilt HUD, but that's it for the cockpit.
Not much was done to the exterior either. I added an extra set of rocket launchers, taken from an Apache kit. The sharkmouth came from a leftover TwoBob's set - they are really made for a Marine AH-1W, but I'm using the snake decal from that set and I couldn't let these go to waste! I think they look cool.
The model was preshaded, painted, washed, drybrushed and then scratched up with a silver pencil.
Overall, an easy build and finally an Army bird for my display case! Kelly
