discussion sikorsky HH-53c Jolly green giant

[BBdave]

Here it is done not the greatest of fits but good practice for me, one of the fuel tank stabilisers has broken of right at the last but can't find it anywhere.

To be honest Im not pleased with it the pictures don't show the little faults I imagined it a lot better when I started so open to your opinions and advice.

I think you are being over critical Dave, of course we should try and get better, but believe me, that is not bad looking helo. Nice work and as you say a learning platform.

Personally I love it Dave! It looks big & tough!

In my experience, photo's usually show up any problems better than sight, and I can't see anything wrong!

Great work, it looks like a Jolly Green Giant and the paint job has come out nicely. Also some subtle weathering, great stuff.
