    My take on CW Blades.

    Swapped out some parts from Alpha Bravo then removed the blue paint with rubbing alcohol. Finished off with the reprolabels set + additional Autobot logos on the nose & sides.

    I might add some more red near the front but undecided yet, I want to replace the "RESCUE" lettering under the rotor assembly too.

    Thoughts?

    This looks fantastic right now. The color blocks are distinctive and say "rescue chopper" to me just as much as any livery would.
    If I were to add any red to the front it would only be to bring the red of foot joint down and around the bottom. He'd end up with red shoes in bot mode and Defensor would have a cuff on that wrist. But like I said above, this looks fantastic!

    Thanks for the feedback:) 
    If I do add more red I'll just start with 2 red squares just above the cockpit to create a solid line on lop, I might do it with some red label instead of paint - just in case if overcooks it.

    That looks great. What does the resulting Alpha Bravo look like? :)

    Poor alpha :( 

    I love how he has improved! If you have rook can you replace groove with him just for a matching combiner (no offense to groove)
