Good LORD man!!   You're kicking both of these builds BUTTS man.   


Man these things are just beautiful with all of the great paint work and weathering. Good tip on the prop streaking as well. I remember any grease streaking on Huey tail rotors was like that Invader pic you just posted up.

Luckily I never had to fly a plane with that bad an oil leak on a prop, but I flew many with alcohol deice on the props and that's how they streaked.
