Very cool. I wish there was a nice injection molded kit of this. Is it me or is one rotor blade off axis?

Beautiful build CL! Gotta love those early choppers! There is lots of good footage of this type in “The Bridges at Tokyo Ri”. Pure USN Korean War carrier aviation eye candy. Grace Kelly isn’t bad either... 
So you say that AMP kit is better than the Fonderie kit? I certainly need one or the other for my Korean War collection.

Very nice definitely something you don't see every day.

Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
