Got a suggestion for that title if I may Hugh... how about:

"Down in the weeds with torreador pants and my hair on fire" Smile [:)]

Yep, I saw that thread... man that was funny as hell. You can always reproduce that thread on the last chapter to explain the book naming... makes up for quite a reading!.

Sorry for the O/T post.

Wow, that is dissapointing, I love this little bird, to bad for the discrepencies.  I am going to go for a Israeli brown defender look and hand mask and AB the israeli logo's on, per hmills suggestion.instead of the AH-6 black, I am also going to see if I can tint the windows black, which is will look better then the amber.

Thanks guys for helping me salvage a kit, I was initial very upset with.  But hey modding stuff is the modelers way

Only on civil ships.  This ship may have been an earlier release as a civil or police 500.

Yeah I just noticed that, also for some reason the glass comes tinted amber, which I think looks ridiculous.  Do any of these birds have tinted glass?

The kit you speak of is not an MH-6, if I am recalling correctly.  It's actually a Defender offshoot and more accurate as an Isreali Tow/Defender.  The MH does not have any PNVS or optics on the nose.  It can mount a FLIR under the nose. It also carries no weapons and is used for hauling specwar guys.  See Blackhawk Down DVD for MH-6's (and AH-6's).
