When I was a child my grandmother put together models for me to hang from the ceiling because I loved airplanes. I had a B-52, bomber an F-15, and a space shuttle. Then when I was 7 or8 years old she signed me up to get a model in the mail every month. she didn't like how tiny the kits were going to be. I think they must have been 1:72 or something.. I'm building a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle JLTV-GP scale model to show the military personnel a modification to their JLTV Camouflage and I think that if they can see it on a scale model they will have a greater chance of using my camouflage. I thought i found a JLTV at a toy store but the product I was looking at was in another state from where I live and the local store didn't have the kit..

Anyway I was looking around in the toy shop and saw a helicopter model kit. It was a CH-46 Sea Knight and I imagined having the JLTV slung carried from the chopper. I bought it for $25 and knew it would be small-ish but thought maybe I could make it work. It was much much smaller than I had imagined. So anyways I was putting on the last rotor blade and was nearly finished when I dropped it in the floor. and all but one of the rotor blades broke off. They were too tiny and I couldn't glue the rotors back on.

I'm getting my second kit as an adult in the mail soon hopefully it won't be the wrong kit,,,. I need it to be large enough to showcase the camouflage for the JLTV. check out my other thread HERE:: Joint Light Tactical Vehicle JLTV-GP

I have a lot to learn but the awesome people in this forum have been a great help! without them and YouTube I couldn't be doing this modeling!
