    Lee Drennen’s 1/72 Hobby Boss UH-34D Choctaw

    This in my build for the GB with aftermarket decals. I’ll be building the Marine one. Looks pretty simple. Click image for larger version

          Nice choice lee , something different. How come you got aftermarket decals for it though ?, aren't the kit ones any good ?

                  I'm here at last......just muscled my way in next to JR! Incidentally Lee, that looks to be a pretty modern kit for your build. I sort of figured you'd be squeezing glue on something out of the 1950s. :tongue-out3: At any rate looks like it might be a fun build.......cheapest copter I could find (1/87 scale) was near $50.00 so gave up on this one........enjoy! :thumb2:

                      Oh no!!!..., Lee has gone eggbeater too!!! There's no hope..........Seriously, it looks like a cool kit buddy and hope you have fun puttin' her together. I be sitting here keeping everybody under control just in case. If they do get out of control, then I'll just slap them upside their melons to calm them down. Have fun!!!...........
