Shouldn't the thread be in the Work in Progress section? Just a thought.

I usually see group builds posted here, unless I am wrong which would not be unusual

I don't think it really matters. We know where to find it.

While waiting for the putty to dry on the house, figure I give the Huey a start. Trimmed of all of the flash and gave it a top coat of olive drab.
I think I heard the flackhammer scurrying about......

I am finding this is not a quality kit. I am having some fit issues right off the bat.
We'll see how it goes.

Haven't gotten that far, but I have a feeling I'll be keeping the the exacto sharp and sharpening my trim skills.

So far, deck is warped and the nose supports have fitting issues
