On the positive side, there is that Dutch version! (I am Dutch)
Is that the scheme that is represented in the photo of the markings booklet I posted above?

Yes! Koninklijke Luchtmacht means Royal Airforce (but since that is taken we use Royal Netherlands airforce or RNLAF internationally).
It is indeed a showbird at the Le Bourget airshow.

The later scheme is more colourful.

Ah gotcha!

Well-- this one is for a buddy who served in Afghanistan so I will be doing the regular old US Army version ;)

With firewood out of the way and the weather keeping me in, I have been able today to work on my many projects. After a pre-coat of the base color just to check on details, I've found that the fit had been beautiful up until adding the sponson fairings...they supposedly slide over the stub wings but it weren't a very nice fit ;) Out came the clamps ;)

Once that all dries it's onto the rotor assemblies...

Excellent work Mike! This is looking good. Check some of your decals though; from a couple angles it looks like some have silvered.
