[WIP] OH-58D Kiowa Warrior

Recommended Posts

I think he's talking about the BRU that the DRL is mounted to.  On the American version, the mount is more square, but on the Asian (Korean?) version, it is more angled.  Probably an export version or a newer version of mount than what's on the American picture.

 

The word you're looking for is "Taiwanese."

Looks pretty perfect to me.Maybe the front edge of the nose should be slightly sharper, but I think it is spot on mate. :)

Why don't you compare your model with blueprints? I think it would help

1)I've used blueprints when creating scratch.

2)Blueprints quality aren't that good as needed,you still have to manual ajust by photos.

3)Using blueprint box is very much useful,when you create box-like model,like LARO or M113.In this case... yes,it helps.. but not much I think.

I'm not modelling expert however your model does look a bit long and flat compared to the photo which is short and tall. That could be angle I'm not sure but thats the first thing I noticed.

Just a heads up, the helo can take a 4 stinger missile setup, essentially making it a hovering MAA

But for some reason Wikipedia doesn't list it

 

This may also be useful to you

Because a) they almost never fly with Stingers.

 

and b) Wikipedia, shocking though this may be, is not a trustworthy source on aircraft loadouts.

Don't worry take as long as you need, addon making is a hobby. Unfortunately not all of non-addon making forum members can appreciate that making addons takes lots of time.  :ph34r:

I thought I couldn't ask for a timeline. I'm only asking if this is dead or not. Seems harmless enough......
