Wow, I wish my sneezes did that! Superb job Stuart! I love Kiowas.

Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Mark!

Yeah I do love these old MB kits for a bit of Nostalgia! I'm going to have to get a Norseman soon.

I've added a bit more paint...

Stuart, simply lovely work!

Duke, sometimes, when I sneeze, it is about that color...

Looking properly dark and drab now Stuart! Coming along great!

Thanks Carlos - I was surprised to see everything was Helo drab, including the rotors. The blade tips are supposed to have a orange line down the leading edge, but I'm not sure how accurate that would be.
