Outstanding, but also frightening how much work is needed for this only Puma kit

Thanks😉
Heller's kit looks cool at first sight (except the rivets size) but it does require some (a lot of) work, the clear front part is a headache to fit, requires some trimming on the fuselage and some filling with milliput and putty.
It is worth choosing to eliminate the original rivets out of scale and riveting again, and perhaps treat the interior to leave doors open.
It also requires a careful preparation to try to foresee all changes, because as we move forward we are always discovering something more to change and add.
To try to be as rigorous as possible you have to use 2 upgrades sets from Whirlybird's and leftover decals because the one destined for the Phoenix (ref WBA72145) does not give all the details, however it brings enough good things that do not exist in the others sets. And the Decals are very good. I was afraid that the "Fenix" would let the different colors appear underneath, and the white would look the same, but no, very good indeed.
Only one repair for the application of "70,000 hours" one should separate the "70,000" from the word "horas" and apply one at a time.

This looks like a "HowTo superdetail helicopters in 1/72" and you make it look so easy but from my own experience I can tell that it isn't easy at all and therefore I tip my hat to you. Great, great work!
