    Unless you're replicating rusted metal and bent up fenders and skirts you really can't mess up weathering. Well, other than muzzle fouling. We use smokeless powders now, and what looks like fouling is usually bare metal caused by cleaning. At least on WWII guns, anyhow.

    1:18th BBI Kiowa helicopter

    Well, to be absolutely fair KFOR vehicles were marked as such. ;) The tampoed markings shouldn't be entirely impossible to remove.

    Supplies are definitely drying up. I'm glad i got one, though i would have preferred the first version as opposed to the Kosovo Force one. If i could recall my HT password i'd go get those pics i had of mine.

    Snow Leopard

    I would have white washed it myself, so i'd just have to muddy it. Plus if i change my mind it's just a washing away from new.

    Definitely needs weathering.

    Exactly. Kiowas can't do that.

    That movie was just proof of their vast superiority over Kiowas. :D

    If it hadn't been for the 58 you'd be seeing a lot more 6s. They ran them at the same time, but after war the Loach was sidelined until the development of SOAR in the '80s.

    I bet the guys who were at Hughes who wanted the OH-6 to be the observation chopper would love to piss on LBJ's grave.

    I think he was actually getting money. I think there was something about Ladybird being his front person.

    The OH-58 should have never entered the inventory at all. I believe rumor has it LBJ was behind that. On the RAH-66, maybe if the fucking Army wasn't adding specifications every 15 minutes the fucking thing would have been in service instead of languishing in development hell and finally...

    It turned out aces, RED. Too bad you could kill a Japanese tank with a KA-BAR and a set of boot laces..

    Damn, and i remember when Bad Cat was selling them for 20. Almost makes me want to sell mine.

    1:18th BBI Kiowa helicopter

    Eh, i think it looks naked without the MMS. Personally i'd pay 50 for one without TOWS or Hydra 70s before i'd pay that for one missing the MMS. It's kinda an integral component of the 58D. As for retail, i think they originally were around the price point of the MH-6($20-$25)
