                          Well, I decided to go with the sea foam green NUMA paint job.  I've got a can of Krylon in that color that I'm trying to figure out how to decant later this week.

                        I have a source for ya to check out helicopter schemes. The site is airliners.net. They have tons of  MD-500 paint jobs...You'll love the  G-JIVE  heli. I used to fly RC helicopters, and built a scale MD-500, and this was a popular place to choose paint jobs.  I actually spoke to the original painter of the heli I built!!!

                           So, I picked up an Academy MD-500 (the ASW version) off of Ebay for $7.00.  I'm thinking of dressing it up as a civilian version, going for either a seafoam green paint scheme with NUMA markings from Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels, OR.....a white paint job with MNU markings from the movie District 9.  What do you guys think?  I don't think I've ever seen an aircraft in markings of either of these options.
