I think you're right about the decals being a bit oversize. I looked at a few images on google and some of them seem to have the same number, they're just smaller. Some have a few less maintenance decals as well. It looks realy good though and will look good next to your others. Guess you must have plenty of space for all the twin rotors?  I'm just doing an old Airfix Bristol Belvedere - you should try one, it's probably on a par with a limited run kit, maybe even worse. I have 12 1/72 twin rotor helicopters in my stash, 9 of them various types of Chinooks - not including the one on the slow build pile. Got a bit of a CH-47 thing happening - used to work on them.

Here is my third addition to my double egg-beater collection. First was the CH-43E, second was the H-21, now the HUP-2, next the ACH-47A. I seem to be on a roll with helicopters lately. This is the Battle Axe 1/48 scale kit. Overall not bad for a limited run kit. I applied all of the kit provided maintenance decals, but I think they are a bit oversize to the point they seem to detract from the overall appearance.The windows look weird in the pictures but they actually look pretty good in person. Here's some pics, let me have it!Smile [:)]
