Very nice, I like the colour combination

Now I'm putting together the Red Airwolf version

Looks great. Nicely done. 😊

Thanks.

Looks great. One idea is to paint also the blades for tracking, nice looking in flight and eventually match with the fuselage. Find picture of real heli as example. You would use same yellow as the fuselage.

Note: RAL #1003 (traffic yellow) for Helitec (I use 1021 Colza to fit with weathering)

Still interested to know the approx weight of a 3D printed fuse and any other benefits vs fiberglass - is it per ex. lighter? (average of course as many factors).
