Thanks! Yes, I think separating the windshield from the fuselage is a good idea.

This one is Bruno's OH-58D backdated to an earlier OH-58A and upscaled to 1:200.I had to make a new engine housing (thet needs some revisions) and shorten the vertical tail.

I didn't do a great job with the windshield but it's not that bad for a first try. I also forgot to use the support for the tail rotor.

Neat! I flew Rangers (we OH6 Loach drivers called them "Jet Dogs". They were quite a bit heavier than the OH6. Nice job on both kits.

Thanks. Here is it with Rawen & Paran's simple MH-6 (J?). That little egg was really small.

The real thing was pretty small as well.

Been adjusting Bruno's A320 brussels airlines in Tintin livery. Perhaps the hue of blue was off compared with the real plane due to my printer, but I made changes that brought my printed copy closer to the real thing. My first attempt was too light. Here is a pic of Bruno's version, my first failed attempt and the one I am satisfied with. Being stubborn, I am building all. Hopefully. Definitely Bruno's, for comparison and to honour his work.

Hi Sygrod,
I know that printers sometimes differ a lot in rendering colors. I noted big differences between ink jet and laser printers especially.
Anyway, for the tintin model I had not accurate color references (just pictures) so these can indeed be off. No offence due to your attempts. Appreciate that my models get improved.
