Thanks, gents! The tough part is over and I am getting the seams and shims blended. Tommy, the book is incredible and I am sure you will enjoy it. It's one you won't be able to put down. Boots, "Chickenhawk" is another good one!

I have a small update on Super 68, as I got the radome installed for the AN/APQ-174B radar. I also cleaned up the well for the FLIR pod. The plume detectors, which are normally on either side of the radome, were not carried during Gothic Serpent so those will be left off.

I read chickenhawk a long time ago when I was in the army. If you ever need to know how to fly a helicopter, it is the book for you.

Guy, John, Steve---thanks, guys. I made some slight progress on the MH-60. I started work on the IR suppressors for the exhausts and of course the fit was terrible. I did get the engine housing seam worked down and then I installed the mounting plate for the Disco Light IR Jammer. Stay tuned......

We all had our share of these kits... Filling and sanding is the name of the game and you are on top of it. 😉 Keep up the good job!
