This is my 30th 1/72 helicopter, Hobby Boss's Mi 4 Hound. I guess I like building choppers. Testor's paints with some light weathering. I included some in progress shots.

I added some internal & external details, and made new shafts & bushings for both sets of rotors. The open cargo doors required hinge extensions. A masking set made a big difference for the clear parts. 

Drooping the main blades proved difficult. They were thin and very brittle. Brittle plastic seems to be a problem lately, not sure why.
