Thanks to you all for the excellent welcome on the H-45/Mi-6 thread! I'm so glad that you appreciate my work, and to show you my gratitude, allow me to treat this forum with a fake I did especially for you all: a U.S. Coast Guard Mil Mi-26 "Halo"!

This one carries the H-69 designation, which is said in official documents to have been skipped because the number is evocative of sexual practices... (did you buy that story? well I DIDN'T...) Anyway, I've used it and here's the CH-69A Halo (great name for a... helo...). Hope you'll enjoy looking at it as much as I did doing it!

I'll be doing more Halo stuff soon, because I really enjoyed working on this one!
