I built the Revell HH-3E, a kit that
precedes me by almost two decades, as one flown in Operation Desert Storm.
The HH-3E is an old Revell kit, and well, there wasn't anything special about
it. Originally, I was going to build it as a Vietnam Bird in SEA camo,
however, the two tone desert camo looked more appealing on it.

I added a few modifications to
it, and didn't even bother to touch the interior as next to none of it was
going to be seen. The interior is all but missing, and the doors are
molded shut, solidified my decision. The pilot figures are from
Hasegawa's SH-60.
I painted it in Tamiya Acrylics and
weathered it using a black wash from war pigs. The decals are homemade.
