A five bladed rotor would be cool. That will be a future project.
I've always heard the wop wop of the two bladed Huey was from the rotor tips approaching the speed of sound. The wop sound is the "sonic boom" of the rotor tips going by. That's why late model helicopters have swept tips or other designs.
That's the bugger all right with those blades ..probably the most iconic sound of all time for choppers I'd bet .

As for your bird ..well it's definitely green for sure  ;D
Once the decals go on and it's flat cleared dude it's gonna look great 👍

It's VERY green, oh yes!  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

She's totally green, for sure.  ;)  So green I almost expect to see it in the remake of ''The Fifth Element'' ...

I've finished with decals. I'll build stuff all day but painting is a road block and decals has become a job I try to avoid even more. I even cleaned my work desk to put off doing it. Pics in the am. Maybe I'll squirt some flat and pull the masking off first.

Ken I know the feeling about the painting part ..the mojo keeps coming and going......I keep thinking of paint schemes like the one I'm now thinking of changing for the Buccaneer ..how ever if it happens is another thing 🤔.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I could have a couple of Mohawks escorting the CH-37!
