It's very nice but not nearly yellow enough

That's a beautiful helicopter but the color scheme is a little bland. I wonder if the aftermarket will provide some alternative decals for it?

Very nice model but it looks like it has seen a lot of action.

where will the build be published in May?

I think he meant MAI

Exellent paintwork, love the vertical streaking to weather it.

Nice work on the Merlin and she sure shows signs of some heavy weathering. Looking real goo
