Hi all! My choice for this GB will be the Hughes OH-6 Loach (or Cayuse), also known as Little Bird, a very small helicopter but used extensively in Vietnam and other countries. This kit is from 2000 and it´s originally a Dragon mold, reboxed by Italeri. Not many parts, two large and two smaller grey frames, one clear frame and a smallish decal sheet and a instruction leaflet. All parts are very nicely moulded and almost no flash on the parts, even though this kit was quite old when I bought it 2006. One of the large frames contains the fuselage halves and cockpit details… The other large frame contains the tail boom, skids and seats… Two smaller frames with armament and crew… One clear frame… The instructions comes in the usual “Italierian” A-4 format, accordion style. A small, but very nice decal sheet made by Zanchetti, one of the best decal makers in Italy (second only to Cartograf) and as the theme is “Jaws” I will do “Miss Clawd IV”. There´s not much in the way of aftermarket for this chopper, but I have an old Eduard set of the old style, unpainted with acetate Instruments. This will be fun, I have wanted to build this chopper for a long time now, and This GB gave me the perfect excuse to start! More to come soon! Stefan
