This is the excellent kit
from Monogram. The cockpit is fantastic right out of the box, no
aftermarket needed here! I did add the helmet rails and a scratchbuilt
HUD, but that's it for the cockpit.

Not much was done to the
exterior either. I added an extra set of rocket launchers, taken from an
Apache kit. The sharkmouth came from a leftover TwoBob's set - they are
really made for a Marine AH-1W, but I'm using the snake decal from that set
and I couldn't let these go to waste! I think they look cool.
The model was
preshaded, painted,
washed, drybrushed and then scratched up with a silver pencil.
