Very nice, looks nasty. Quite a beefy tail rotor.

The "beefy tail rotor" is almost certainly an illusion resulting from styrofoam strips on the trailing edge of the blades to prevent injury to personnel walking into them - a quite common occurance when recieving a first of type helicopter.

Goodness me, that is a very, very, very long ammunition feed chute to the cannon. Is it actually the entire ammo bin? Would be a bit of a challenge for the FARPies.

It certainly is a little helicopter for an “Attack” helo.
