Hughes 500D Police Helicopter

This little model (even though 1/48th scale) is really true to size. In the real world they aren't much bigger than 2 crew but they are amazing machines. This kit was very easy to build even though not overly detailed. But then again it was only 11.00 . I built both the Police version as well as the Israeli Army Scout version at the same time. I had a blast with these with the only drawback being in the painting of the white plastic of the police version. It would have been nice to use the white cast but it had conflicts with the interior and windows. I ended up painting the white to get a more uniform color. These 2 were fun and quick to build. The crew was the toughest part to paint. I would recommend these to anyone who likes this little multi purpose Helicopter. Very much worth the cost.
