One of ?? Roban Astar

I decided to post pics of a 700 Roban Astar that belongs to Alex Juan, an airlines pilot and a member of the Puerto Rico National Guard. He is currently at the helicopter flight school at Fort Rucker. He currently owns a Roban 800 size Huey but has always wanted an Astar on the Homeland Security livery just like one that is stationed near his home. He is fairly new to scale but is learning fast and doing his best at building scale helis.
He bought a Roban Astar in white so he could modify it and paint it the way he wanted.

First he added some scale detail and handmade the large tail stinger then painted the homeland security livery.

Alex wanted high visibility glass on the pilot doors but was not confident to modify the stock doors. At this point I can’t remember if I volunteered or was volunteered to do the surgery. I wasn’t confident either as I have never done major surgery on a fuse like this. But nevertheless I went for it and I think the end result came out pretty good.

And the final result is pretty nice I believe.
I could be wrong but I think this is the first Roban Astar done with high visibility glass.
if I’m wrong please post pics of it so we can all see it. Us scale lovers love looking at pics and videos.
