Review: AWESOME! awesome model! - This was a lot of fun to build, highly detailed but not overly detailed to where it becomes not fun anymore. If that makes sense…? Very rare that an Academy model comes with quite a few photo etched pieces! The plastic is very high quality as compared to most models, and I’ve been building models off an on again for probably 25 years. Instructions are good but detailed and make sure you pay attention to them closely! Highly, highly recommended this model, especially for this price! Ive done models more than twice the price of this one and were not even close to the same quality of this Helicopter. Just buy it!
Review: Very nice kit - First helicopter I’ve built. Loved the model and the quality of the molds. My only complaint is the amount of shelf space it takes up. It’s large
