CH-53 1/144th scale

The decals the decals the decals! There were over 100 for this lil bird and they went on beautifully. I did have one major F up though in that when completed I covered it with clear and set aside. Apparently it got knocked on it's side somehow and the HEER decal on the left side came off and was irreplaceable. Oh well.

WIPs

1/72nd Hobbycraft F-86F Sabre. Had this lying around. Tried to sell it but no interest so am building it real quick. Actually a very nice model with great fit and good detail. I'm trying my hand at a metal finish for it so I have been in the buffing stage for a few days now.

1/144th CH-53 from Revell Germany. This is actually done (finished yesterday) but I haven't taken pics yet. Again a very nice model for being 144th scale and the decals were superb. There were over 100 decals for something not even 4 inches long. I screwed up one of the rotor blades trying to bend them down to simulate gravity's pull so I cut them all off and folded them back. Looks cool and saves on shelf space. Finished pics to follow shortly.
