yeah i have quite a bit of experience with it myself (the model is from 2012 btw, 95% finished - i hope i will eventually get to iron it out and get it in the game). It is a nice project, good luck with it

First off,finish D,then - will see.

Actually,last Kiowa been scrapped out of service a few months ago.It was replaced by AH-64E,which able to interact with UAVs.

Could we get a Transport Version,no Ball System?  With/without doors?

 

It's kinda a bit diffirent heli.Diffirence same,as M16A2 and M16A4,it looks same,but in closer look - it's too much diffirent.Maybe later.

What I meant is,if you could release it as the pictures,without door,just the above,and delete the ball-turret.  That is,if you like.If you like,please make the OH-58F.It is cool. :).tnx

I understood what you mean :)

Im working on OH-58D,this is my priority at this time.

OH-58D doens't have transport version.The version,which able to transport troops is OH-58A/B/C,but even LB do this better than this.

As for OH-58F,it actually a ghost helicopter,which no longer at service.As I said - last Kiowa been scrapped half year ago,so I create the most common version and combat prooven,used by US military.

No promices on A/B/C/F,but it's possible.

Probably are still FFAR. But, maybe, in the forst photo the heli aren't armed. That's what I suppose at least.

If you want to make this addon stand out in the crowd,add a set of beacon lights,with real roatating lights with reflectors(the rotating part).

That will make it look amazing!   Good luck with this! :) :wub:

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question about the mounts.  If you mean the front-slanted bar that sticks up, that is a cable cutter.  Other than what appears to be forward-facing sensors I'm not seeing a "mount" on the pics?

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.
