People say my Idolmaster planes are too cute for them to build; but I think this Tiny Chopper is even CUTER than those! haha you've done a fantastic job on this kit! The OH-6 is a great Helicopter!

I remember when the 160th AV visited my Apache ANG base many moons ago. They brought 4 of these OH-6's, taxied them fast and perfectly 4 inches off the concrete in much closer formation than I thought was safe and parked all four aircraft in the corners of same space that we parked one AH-64A Apache! The precision and skills of those pilots was very impressive! The 160th Aviation is a Special Forces Aviation unit and the same one that was in Somalia and featured in Black Hawk Down. I stayed late by 45 mins one night to refuel them after their mission and they bought me a case of beer! Bonus! :cheers2: :dance:
