Is the paint being done by Jacko the bus painter on the Sunshine coast?
Looks a lot like the scheme he and Rob did on Mick Doohan's B3 five years ago.
One of the best and most subtle paint jobs i ever saw. Only blemish was a bubble in the fibreglass on the nose. I believe they wanted to fix it but EC said 'she'll be right'. - Just a rumour by the way!
I had some great photos of it, but not sure where they are now!

Capt Hollywood, That looks sweet you gotta let me know when it will be in Adelaide... I saw your old bird a few years ago at the V8's.

My jaw dropped i love watcing these come in, so sliky smooth, kinda reminds me of the excitment when i saw my first S76, good helicopters are rare here so Im sure the new bird will collect many admires peeking through wire fences...

Where is the assembly taking place? It looks like a kit helicopter with all those pieces and the trim from inside... I guess new means it can be set up to suit from word go. Im keen to see it finished and with the interior, i do Motor Trimming would have loved the chance to do a helicoper... Good Luck, all the best

Simon
