"Something quick and easy".  Ha!  Never has such an easy, straight forward kit given me such grief!  Well, she's done now and in the cabinet.  Now, all I need is that Copper State FK.8 and I'm on to my next project.


















Cheers,
Bud

   Great finish Bud, and a unique scheme to really set her off! I'd really love to have a Kit available in 1:32, you've done a stellar job on this one!

Thanks, Lance!  I'd be willing to bet that a 1/32 kit is not too far off.

Beautiful, Bud! Great work on the swirls and the leaf camo. Those A-H birds must have looked awesome in the real!

Well Amigo, You have created another real beauty here! I am not a big AH fan but your build has certainly opened my Eyes to the Possibilities of varied schemes and Markings! As always with your builds the construction, painting, rigging and weathering are all outstanding! I really enjoyed following your build.
