ell Gents,

I do apologize for not taking more sequential pics, but I hadn't built a wingy thingy/egg beater in almost 34 years, so I wasn't confident of the outcome. After some cursory review of AC techniques, I took off running and here it is, hope yall like it. The final pics are very poor quality, I broke down the photo bench before I checked the pics, and forgot the white balance before snapping them dooooooeeeeeee! It's only been since March that I've been in the bunker, so it'll pass soon enough.

A close Amigo asked me to build this for his dad, Nam Vet, USMC, for the upcoming Marine Corps anniversary in November. He’s got a shadow box with all the trimmings for presentation and this H34 will top it off. Shipping is gonna be a hoot, but I do have a nice stash of light flexible foam to strategically wrap the airframe and pack the rotors separately. I’ll letcha know how that goes, lol.

This is the reissue Trumpeter 1/48 scale H34. Anyway, she’s done, no more work to be had, hope yall like er.

Cheers, Ski.

NOTE: New photos have been editted from initial post
