Right on, paint, markings, etc, looks the early 1960s USAF  :)
Totally like it.  Hope to build one for my fledgling air force.

Very nice  :)  A later VH-74 SAR/medevac type would be cool too!

What about an Operation Eagle Claw Rotordyne. Where they flew straight in, shot up Tehran, rescued the hostages and then flew straight out...
