If the glazing is as good as for the 23B model then count me in - I can always cross kit the nice resin parts from SH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only carried 'UNITED STATES ARMY' inscription and that was it. This happened together with refusal from yellow band to mark tail rotor danger zone and font change from yellow to black. Everything done to reduce visibility. Here is the picture of exactly the same chopper with number '276'. No roundel apparently. Also note antennae located on the tail boom (LF does not mention this in the instructions) and wheels attached here to the skids.
