The exhausts were solid as you can see on the right. I drilled them out. The one on the left has been done.

Alrighty. Wrapped up. Would have been a 3 day weekend project if I had had a full 3 day weekend to devote to it. Jumping between this and the F-4 and an aborted start on my B-1 dragged it out.
The base is my first attempt at making one. I feel it turned out very well. As mentioned in the captions, I will be adding figures in the future.

Thank you sir! In a few months when I get the work table relatively clear, I will go back to this for the figures.

Album info
Wanted to do this for the October IPMS meeting special category. Anything used for medical transport. What better than the iconic M*A*S*H Bell-47?
Its an older kit, and the parts were a bit warped. which has led to a lot of cussing coaxing to get it at least somewhat lined up. Fit is OK except for the glass bubble. It does NOT mate with the frame well at all.
