Well done. Somewhat of an odd looking hello, now I know why.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looks very different with the tail wheel instead of tricycle gear

Re: 1:48 Aerospatiale SA360 Dauphin
The paint scheme and spatted wheels sure do give this chopper something of a throwback look. Thank you for sharing another of your rarely seen subject type builds.

Definitely has Aérospatiale lines. Already had the tail fan I see.
Thanks,
