Not my cup of tea, it just looks like the MH-53 Pave Low but without all of the ugly bumpy bits that make it look so wonderfully menacing and evil.

That was the objective of the exercise after many requests for a back dated clean bull nosed version, so yes your summation is correct :) .

I understand this Michael, I wasn't slating Alphasim in the slightest, I was simply stating that the clean version doesn't interest me as much as it's uglier sibling does.

Ugler sibling?! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! (Or should that be beer-holder?!)

I know you were not, sorry if my post made you think other wise, l was simply agreeing with you and confiriming your observation, with the extra that it was what was intended and it appears to have worked by your observations :).

I'm quite enjoying this one; I hoping for a paintkit, as this is just crying out for an Israeli repaint!

The MH-53 is ugly, but that doesn't stop it from looking utterly fantastic! :lol:

Yes, I also prefer the MH to the CH...

Exactly, ugly in a way that makes it far more eye catching like... (dare I say it) the Nimrod compared to the Comet! (Where did I put my flame proof suit). :welldone:

Besides, in my eyes all MH-53's now transform into giant robots of ass-kickery which makes them infinitely better than their CH counterpart.

Still trying to find the keyboard command that makes Alpha's MH-53 do that... :lol:
