Hello all, this time I am back with another helicopter, but this one has something special.  There are two things that makes this model special to me. The first thing is this model is my first "one" after a couple of years without building, and the second is  because I made this work in memory of the 17 Spanish soilders that died in Afghanistan in 14/Sep/2005.  The kit has alot of scrachtbuilt detail; cockpit, cabin (seats, stuff etc...), main rotor, tail rotor, wheel hubs/wells, exterior: doors rails, windows and some more... 

The decals are the originals from the kit and the paints used are from Humbrol and Vallejo. Also I used some of pencil techniques and home made weathering: thinner, Aguarras and some pigments colours.

It is a very basic kit, but a nice one, the parts fit so well that in a few cases  you need help with putty or similar stuff.  Like in my other models, I used Humbrol model filler with a very good results.

Well, that is all for now, I hope that you enjoy the pics and have good time.. 

HAPPY MODELLING!!!
