Nice intermeshing rotors! But you dont need tail rotor in this case, as tehy cancel each other out :D Goos job none the less, love the color combo!

@Zblj1987 I know, but does not work as a tail rotor. It is just a push propeller to increase the speed.

It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's too much like 8068.

@stipzao You can say the same about KA-50 Hokum and AH-64 Apache. Both are helicopters but the concept is really different.

@grohl666 I didn't mean that about the helicopters in general but about LEGO helicopters. Some details like retractable landing gear and winch appear to be c/p from the set. I'm not saying there is a better way to do it, it's just that there's no "wow" in it since it's already been done in a set. I do like the double rotors and the colors of your MOC.

@stipzao I know. I wanted the landing gear to retract to the belly, but it was too big for this model. And it has got the same rotor size as 8068 and it is only a bit longer, so there is not much much you can do in this scale.
