Squadron has another round of this kit. Too much money for me but it looks like a good one.

Not a bad price actually. Maybe Lyle should attempt another review of the kit for one of us to build like we used to some years back. :whistle:

I'd do it.

Nope. Not in my budget or "wants". I have way more stuff than I'll ever build, now.

I'm not quite sure how to respond to this.... :hmm: I guess "build" doesn't imply finish. It is just three 1/35 helos at this point. As for this kit, I'll say never will I build another Eduard kit unless I'm held at gunpoint. My hands and such are getting pretty achy and sore these days.

Bigger scale aircraft kits just means that they now include more tiny parts that didn’t used to happen as individual parts… :headslap:
