I found
much information about this beautiful heli on http://gunsagogo.org/,
this site was very helpful for me during the loooong ( it took me 4 years)
building process on this Chinook.
The
model is the 1/72 Italeri kit and in my opinion it is very good.
In
comparison with the website, I have found some small mistakes, especially in
decals placing :
-
“Easy
money” decal should be on opposite side than Italeri instructions
show (all photos I found about this Chinook has it on left side,
looking from
front of heli)
-
all
exploitations sings should be in this version in black color (in instruction
black are predicted for second version, for this are yellow)
I
also cut aerials, which were too long and joined them with a very thin string

The model was
painted with Model Masters traditional US olive drab and then I covered it
Sidolux (Polish equivalent of Future ), decals
and Humbrol matt cote. This is the first time I did a delicate
preshading and wash and I also tested dry brushing and Mr Mark Setter for
decals.
I am very happy with
the results and I hope you like it too.
