[US Model WIP] OH-58D Kiowa, by Mindgame

[MEGALADON]

If I remember right there's a 3 man crew onboard. The 2 you see up front & there was 1 in the back operating the "SPECIAL" electronics. They also flew with NO VISIABLE lighting. We had to use night vision to see them.

[Black Beret]

Thw KW only carries 2 pilots, Megaladon.

[MEGALADON]

OK maybe he was just working on "stuff" in the back. It's been a while.

Eeh, no need for that, its not for nothing that we got 8 military experts/advisors. But thanks anyway

[BlakeJr]

That mastmounted sight really makes this aircraft a devious bastard if used right!
The two "bumps" mentioned earlier will most vertainly be skinned as the sights "viewports" and are thus not a fault with the model.

Great work!

[Ugly Duck]

Blake, look at the model and then the pic. I believe the bumps theyre talking about are those right under the rotor shaft, theyre far to large to simply be skinned on. Also, it doesnt apear to have a rear door, just 2 front doors.

[TheHighlander]

Better than anything I could do, but.....

I'm pretty sure all of that can't be put on one helo, but if it can, its going to be one hell of an annoyance to a tanker

[snipurs]

looks kinda weird or odd but besides that it looks awsome cant wait to see it in game

[Sabian]

Very nice render. A tad tall but very nice.
