Hi Gang:
Well the next three HH-3's have been sent in to the shop for posting. They are the 129th ARRG of the CANG. 5040th ARRS-Elmendorf AFB, AK., and the 71st ARRS from the same place. Rest are coming along.

Hi everyone...I know it has been a couple of months since the last update. I am sorry for that, I had got a new job that has a lot of hours, 10-12 hours a day and some times 2 weeks straight thru! I have got a routine going and finally have hobby time again. so over the last couple of months I had been working on modding the nose parts to make them closer to prototype looks. I had to make up a new upper greenhouse window piece, and shortened the nose part and added missing frame pieces to the windshield. I have sent a page of replacement parts to Chris to post up in the store for anyone that wants or needs them. The last of the kits will have the new pieces on the parts pages. I also added some short extra formers to add strength and help keep the main part of the fuselage square. here are some pics.

A couple of more pics. In them you can see the new partial formers in place and some of the test pices before the final versions of the new parts.
