Finally! Some progress. Bought some CMK stuff, cockpit and some exterior bits. May jump in further and get some photo etch to replace the engine inlet grills:

So the exterior bits I bought seem to be more geared towards an RAF Chinook, all good. This builds so good that I may buy another one. Got the interior walls in place, I want to try and replicate that cloth paneling you see in photos, any ideas on how to do that? I was thinking Aves apoxie since I have that but if someone knows something easier to work with I'm all ears. Here is where we stand:




And dry fitting:



Kind of in a holding pattern with doing any painting since my compressor died. New one on the way. Thanks for looking

Time to add some photo etch. Thanks for looking.

Still lots to do like flatten out some of those edges. thanks for looking.
