This strike eagle kit should be the best available actually. Do you guys confirm that?

ofor me personally, 2 big hick ups : the raised "Revell copywrite' stamp on the elevator and the seam in the cockpit.

She's a beauty Germen! Well done. So what's next?

THX Michael : next up is a combo of 2 Belgian Sea Kings, 1/72nd, one early 1976 and the other the special paint from 2001 for 25 years Seaking in Belgium, wich btw after 15 years it still flies in these colors.

A lot has been changed on these very hard workers in 40 years.
We had 5 of them, 2 are still active and are phasing out and are already being replaced by the plastic NH90 NFH.

I started the project already here a few weeks ago.

I did not paint the chaff dispensers red. Looking forward to seeing the Sea Kings!

It's not a problem, I saw it on a picture and went to look it up in the Warbird Tech and found out that only on the side of the Navigation pod, when it was attached, the chaf dispencers where block by, 'if the had', red plates, to be sure that thezy would not be loaded because apparently the chaffs create an interference with the navigation pod due to their electromagnetic reaction. I thought it was a nice touch.
