its from an old amt kit
Well checked the fit of the fuselage it is warped but I've seen worse. Think once the interior parts are fitted and glued together I should be able to cure this. Just need to get some filler for some of the joints 
Mad a little start on this. There will be no interior detail as won't be seen. So will just be sprayed black 
i think i would like this better in 1/32 or 1/24 scale that be awesome
WOW Kaci in them scales you wont get it in your flat lol but yes same size as my awaks but love the intoerioa which i dont think mine has got but i will check tomorrow ive got more parts in my kit with the rotor dome an such but both kits looks great AN GOOD LUCK GIRL as if you build an paint it like your cars this model should be a cracker an i'll be following along BUT I WILL BE GOIN TO LIGHT MINE UP SHOULD BE FUN

yeah as cockpit etc wont be seen just be sprayed black primer
AN you say its a bit warped WHERE ? AS I CHECKED MINE when i got it as the box was crushed but thankfully Hellor have made it out of thick plastic an dead straight so no probs there hope you get over you warps lol

YES Kaci when i get mine built yours can refuel mine lol as mine has to stay in the air 24-7 as its a sentry awaks lol

warp should come out ok plastic fairly thick
Main floor added had to tape it up tight as the warp shows badly. Hopefully this should help straighten it out 
YES proberly like mine as its heavy too AN REMEMBER NOSE WHEIGHT AS THIS WILL BE A CLASSIC TAIL SITTER
i have that thought out
WOW Girl at the rate you are building it will be finished in a week as i take my time over my builds as the eletrics is a bit complex an i may buy a mini eletric motorcome gear box that goes slow to turn round the rotar dome slowy an im hopeint do the same with my hawkeye awaks as well but thats in the future an have the engines goin slowy
or so got great plans for them

Off to a "flying start" Kaci.
YES Joe she certainly is
Both fuselage halves together. All glued and taped up 
Well. The fit on this is absolutely ridiculous nothing lines up. Parts are distorted. I'm not enjoying this so far
Anyone taking bets on how quick Kaci finishes this to her usual high standard?
I'm thinking, next Wednesday?
As to the provenance of this bird, that's a lot of cockpit in there, which looks very up-to-date (ish).
