I've pondered that, actually. Well, before I had a Huey to work on.

Yeah, a search light would limit the usefuleness, though If you bothered to actually install a light it'll look cool hanging from the ceiling.

If it was a long-body you could get a light AND a gun in there.

Just seen the camo Big K. So many threads and so little time. It looks awesome!!!! Do whatever you want; it's your project and you don't have to rush it. The recipe will come to you. I'm sure you and the guys here will find the solution as to what you want. Again right now it's Smokin!!!!

Have the wind baffles mostly painted up and just need to get them glued on.

Need to get a new pic I reckon, and see if the pastel work is noticeable.

That appears to be the last photo I took of this thing.

Here it is as it currently sits:



The starboard baffle is longer and painted to match the airframe, speaking to the handmade nature of the mods.

Thanks fellas.


Really need to get some art on the avionics door. Maybe get Vexilarius to make me a custom decal.

It has come a long way. Still a bit to do. It's never-ending, but fun.

Ha! K-Tiger accepts your praise!


All joking aside, I should get to weathering the M156 universal mounts. I've got a set of Rattler missiles coming that will do at least some time on them.

I'll get around to sagamis, too, I hope.


I remember that I got some detail brushes so maybe it's time to get some naked female action on this bad boy?

I'd be able to weather the nose, then.

Small update. Finally got that set of TOW pods. Deepest appreciation to Fogger for making this possible.

Think I may stripe one or both to match the helo, thoughts on that?

I'll need to get one. 2 for solid pods.

Looks like I need to get some fishing weights and toss them up in the nose sho it isn't so tail heavy.

I see I've got some touch-ups to do. Thinking of painting the hat a different color as well.
