Hi all,

This is my 1:72 italeri MH53 j Pavelow.  It was a gift from my friend Murat and I could understand why he gave me when I started to build it.  I used so much putty that I was scared if the wheels wouldn't be able to carry the heli! :-D

Fuselage fit is the main problem.  But you don't expect Tamigawa quality from an İtaleri kit.  I used Humbrol military brown and sand enamels..I painted free hand..

According to the instruction book, this heli had been used in the 1st Gulfwar..by the Special Forces.  I bet it is still in service now in Iraq.

Happy modelling.

Zafer
