WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO! I can recognize some of the bits, but they look as if they were made to be together this way!  :cheers: :thumbsup:

That's gotta be one of the best helos I've seen lately, Bluntie! I really like the desert scheme and the paint chipping which makes it look uber-realistic!

Two thumbs up!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That looks excellent!

Without having seen the thread (kicks himself) I'm guessing Blackhawk + Me110 + He162?

Oh, that is fantastic!   Love the way your paint chipping reflects your armor interests.  I'm going to have to try that style weathering and soon.
This would be so cool to come across at a show table.  I can just picture the JMNs whispering amongst themselves: "What IS that?  That can't be something I've never heard of before...what the???"

That's fantastic work! It looks a little more Russian than German from the side, but either way it's just pretty to look at...

The nose is Bv 141 and the tail is Me 110. I'm not sure what's in the middle, possibly a Huey.

Very good.  Looks like something real.  And the well weathered finish is superb.

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.

Sweet build Steve,

I disagree with Frank tho, looks all Deutsch to me.  I'd hazard a guess at the Huey being a UH-1N variety?  Got the longer cabin & door openings of the -1H/N.
