The Eduard PE & 3D decals cockpit really enhanced this build The Italeri kit reminds me of the old limited run low pressure kits. The plastic is soft with many sinks, the detail is soft, parts are often over scale and the fit is approximate at best. Still, it looks pretty good once completed and this Bell 47/H-13 now sits on the top shelf of the display case with other 1/48 scale aircraft.
With this whirlybird now complete, I have finished this campaign and enjoyed the process so much that I may try another kit before the gong is rung.
