Those are incredible!!!  Are they the academy and dragon kits?  I have them both but have a feeling they will not get in the same league as those!  They are absolutely AWESOME!

hi there, the paint is model master, but is a mix of my own of black and gray and white, cause the stalkers black is not really black, and yes this are the academy and dragon models, just be careful with the windshield of the littlebird, is the worst fit ever  found in a model

Looks good, but...

The overhead windows are not green.  They are clear smoke, tinted black/brown.  

 

There should be no tint on the overhead windows of the MH-60L.

I can totally relate to the windshield of the Dragon MD-500 kit being the worst fit ever.  I found an old Dragon MD-500 kit on E-Bay and started building it a few months ago.  I have been out of the model building hobby for a while so I had expected the kit to be up to the quality that I had been seeing in shows for the last few years.  In the end I have to remember that the kit was designed in 1993.  The moldings are great is some respects but are very poor in other respects.  The canopy is easily the worst fitting part of the kit.  I'm still trying to figure out how to glue it in place.  I figure I'll have to use a lot of puddy to sort out the gaps and try to smoth things out.  Hopefully it will turn out as well as the canopy on your kit.
