Hello precious. What a lovely surprise to have you at my bench. !
This kit is gigantic in terms of parts numbers and it's overall size.
Meant to be the military version, but as you know with me.
I hate ordinary stuff. hehehe. 🙂 🙂
The fun part will be scratch building the water box that is used for dumping the water it snorkels.

Wow Kerry! Outstanding work!

Thank you Maciej, Your most kind. 😉 👍
This kit demands that you do your best. The reason I say that is because, so far and I don't expect to, have any problems like bad fit or lack of assembly instruction. The detail is something amazing and the build sequence is exactly right. The plastic is not tough or hard to work when doing flow gate clean up and it' s no brittle where your always braking the fine bits. I love it.

Excellent work 👍 as expected, super detailing. What a beautiful kit, no wonder the price tag

Kerry COX
Thank you Rui. 🙂 I did get through it rather quickly, but that is all because I had no issues like poor fit or lack of instruction material.
I only hope that ICM produce the alternate load out of the water tank and the bubble windows. ! I live in hope.
The great thing about this kit is when it;s built, just pull the blades off and into a display case it goes. 👍

Looks like it was an intricate kit to assemble. Dealing with the joins while not obliterating the raised detailing must have been a right pain in the backside. Any more pics of the completed build? 👍

Yap, That's Great 👍 Looking forward to see the Next photos.

The fit is perfect. I have never been game enough to stick my neck out about a kit, but this one has it all.
More pics to come, just as soon as I get the Takom "ONTOS" off the bench. 😉

Great work on a fascinating kit 👍

Thank you Bug's. Interesting for sure. The Video of how it all goes together is a real life saver. For kits we spend big money on, there should be a helping hand extended by the producers, just to make sure we 'get it right'. !

Album info

This is the US Army heavy lift helicopter that has been adapted to many rolls, one being fire fighting.
Unfortunately, there is not that version by ICM on the shelves, but in the mean time, I will do my best to replicate the one called "Elvis". The detail is fantastic and can be added to with some hydraulic lines of copper and brass wire.
