Here are some of my finished models. Those that don't have pictures are not photo quality are damaged or otherwise just not worth showing. All of these have defects. You don't need to point them out for me, I'm painfully aware of what they are...You'll notice that my biggest building deficiency is with the glass/canopys. I use a liquid mask and am still perfecting the process. It's definitely gotten better! Any suggestions are welcome!


This is the venerable "Jolly Green Giant" in Israeli garb. Major flaw: Don't put a flat sealer coat with the windows unmasked!
   
         

This is the now defunct RAH-66 Comanche. I did a pretty good job on this one. Still a little dusty from being displayed for a long time.

         

This is the Kamov KA-28. My first coaxial rotor model. It was so old the stupid decals disintegrated before I could get a good scan, so if your really really good, you'll know the decals on it aren't right....

     

My favorite helicopter of all time- the EC-135.This one was/is a disaster. The final decals are from three models with some scanned and reprinted, and the stupid paint started cracking on one side! Still a good model though!


Another disaster of one of my favorites- the BO-105. This one broke like 3 times, was molded in red (what the hell were they thinking!!!), was my first good two tone paint job. Because of the red plasic, you can see the red peeking through in various places. The decals haven't made it on yet, but I still think it looks ok without them.

   
 

The Chinook. One of my first and it doesn't much look like it! This is the first model I did that was able to keep all of it's itty bitty accouutraments that inevitabily get broken off...

 

This is a 1:48 of my favorite ADAC EC-135. This one was kind of a disaster.  Notice the odd looking orange thing in the port windows....if you don't glue the stretcher down well enough and you drop the model AFTER it's closed...well you get the picture!

   

This is one of my best! The ol' flying banana. The gloss coat for some reason fogged the canopy, but otherwise it looks good.

     

This is a Bell 214. It came out ok.

       

This is the 1:72 ADAC EC-135. This one did ok except for the ADAC decals. Big decals can be a pain.


I honestly don't know what this one is. It looks strangely like a Mil Mi-28, but there are significant differences. If you can identify it let me know! Either way it came out ok for a hand painted (not spray painted) job.

     
 
 

The Sikorsky CH-54A Skycrane. This is a cool helicopter!  Turned out well, not much in the way of decals.

     

This is the first of the 3rd generation. It is by far my best (to this point) and favorite. There are A LOT of decals on this, but they look incredible. This is of course an EH-101.

 

   

Another MH-53. The blue isn't my favorite, but it turned out ok.
