Here's one of my next builds. The Academy 1/48 MD500. It'll be done in Israeli markings.

I'll be using IsraDecal sheet instead of the kit decals.

I have the Testors/Fujimi kit of this in my stash. I think the Academy kit may be a clone, from the looks of it. Gonna be cool to watch this project. The Loach/Little Bird is my favorite 'chopper. A lot of Kick Ass crammed into a small package. Hughes got this one so right. 40+ years of sterling service around the globe. :twisted:

Hmmm. Didn't know that Stik, but it doesn't surprise me at all.
