Great solution, Lou. I have a couple questions:

Is the thin white stripe painted or is it a decal?

How do you go about creating the decals for windows to ensure you get the correct geometry around the curves and things?

The white line is decal film. I cut about 2 feet to get the 8 inches I needed. Thin strips do not handle well.
The glass parts are trial and error; luckily, I had already done the hard work for my 1/144 H-19.

A fairly quick build. Done and on my layout.

That looks great! I love the background, too. Very realistic presentation.

Lou: You are a master of many talents. Not only do you work on model airplanes and ships. We now learn you are also a model railway buff. The Sikorsky looks great!!

The model railroad bug is barely 6 months old. I was taken to a local club and got the bug. It is satisfying as well.

Agree with everyone else.

You are a master.

Well Done
