This is the latest version of the Academy CH46 Sea Knight in 1/48th scale.  This kit is basic as for the previous kits with a few minor parts not used. Model was made straight out of the box using no filler or after kit accessories.

My model is painted using the reference colors as stated in instructions apart from the blue which they state FS 15044.......I used FS 35044.  The rest of the paint is the usual naval 3 tone grey.  Using flat spray varnish for body then a coat of future and applying decals to main body then a coat of flat varnish again to tone it down.  I then the coated the windshield with future, applied decals, then another coat of future after that to get gloss finish.

The decals are a little bit tricky around the windshield stars which are all separate, so you have to apply them one at a time, otherwise I recommend this kit very much and was a pleasure making it just about one week.
