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!
