Like an insidious sickness, a fascination with the Vietnam War has gripped my pale flabby body, and a yearning to build tons of 1/72 kits of aircraft from it has taken hold. I have many questions about helicopters; is it a blasphemous violation of god's laws that enables them to hover? Are they powered by orphan souls, or does their sheer ugliness repel the ground? These questions may forever remain unanswered. However, I was hoping all of you big-brained types could help me out with the best (IE most accurate, followed by easiest to assemble in that order) 1/72 choppers. I am particularly curious which of the two A/OH-6 Cayuse kits (Italeri or AZ) are best suited to duplicating the aircraft "Love, American Style" on the Fireball Models decal sheet, but I'm in general curious about all sorts of helos in 'Nam, as we called it, ten-eighteen years before my birth, like: which Cobra kit is right for Vietnam, and which is best? What decal sheets offer the coolest and most amusing helo nose art? I very much appreciate your help.
