Favorite helicopter kits?

Hello!

I'm new here, but not new to paper modelling. I'll create a build thread for a build I'm going to start soon, not to worry!

In the meantime, I'm wondering if there are any decent paper helicopter kits out there. I'm guessing Halinski or GPM have a few, but I haven't had much luck.

So I reach out to the experts. Do you guys know of any?

Thank you so much! The Halinski models are exactly what I was looking for now to see if I can find them...

Keep in mind when hunting Hinds

There are 3 versions, 1996, 2009 and 2013
The 1996 version is the "simplest" one, low parts count of about 1200, but also first generation digital, more of a tracing of a hand drawn kit
The 2009 version has more detail, somewhere around 2100-2400 parts.
The 2013 version has the most detail and parts, 3200+

Your mileage will definitely vary

The Hokum however has not been updated
Similar in vintage as the 1996 Hind
