After all that work in the hobby room and at St. Crispin's Hobby Days, I am finally able to call a few more done. These are two of the five models I just completed, the other three are in the Armor Forums. My first finished model is this Aoshima 1/72 scale Japanese OH-1 "Ninja" scout helicopter. This is an indigenous design made in Japan: My next finished model is the Atlantic re-pop of the ancient AH-56 Cheyenne in 1/72 scale. I built her strictly out of the box: The description of this helicopter in the history blurb on the instruction sheet says this was designed to have a 30mm cannon in the turret beneath the cockpit. She was also capable of loading all the rockets, guns and missiles that the Apache could load, as well as carry Sidewinders. Someday I hope to make one of these with all those to see what this would have looked like in service. Until then, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

What a good looking set of builds Mark. I have never seen either one of these aircraft before and I consider myself an "aviation buff". lol.

Thank you Tobi! That Japanese helicopter is quite a recent design only just now put into production. Probably why many haven't heard of it. I personally love the sleek curves on this sexy little Japanese bird!
