This was a just a fun, "quickie" build - something I try to do about every 3-4 kits to relieve AMS.  I picked up the kit for just a couple bucks, and was actually surprised when I opened the box.  It was pretty well detailed and the moldings were crisp with recessed panel lines.

I wanted to do the float version to make it look a bit different, so I decided to use my spare NYPD decals from a car model I had done.  I spruced up the interior a little with some plastic stock.  Also added the cable cutters, fin caps on the boom, and a scratchbuilt spot light.  

A nice addition to my chopper collection.
