Glad I saw it here! Thank you for posting, you do a great job posting for all of us Tango/Armand, THANK YOU!!
It has significant similarities to the Tiger -French. I have some Scotia/Ros A-129 which seems small when compared to GHQ/CinC and other figures. May end up using the French Tiger for the Turkey T-129. Not sure of the size of this helo (or Italian) compared to Tiger. Appreciate the info, thank you.
