This is the former training helicopter with the German army. The school is called "Heeresflieger- Waffenschule Bückeburg" (~ Army pilots flight school) near Hannover. Bückeburg is the center of the German helicopter fans and experts. Bückeburg has a helicopter museum, the only one of its kind in Germany. There you can see Bell 47s, Bo-105, Bo-108 (Prototype of the EC-135), Bk-117, Mi-1 /-2, H-21C, S-58, KA-26, Husky II and many more. www.hubschraubermuseum.de (in German) They've also a Mi-24V and a Mi-8 @ ETHB, the airport of Bückeburg, it's military, unfortunately. I worked on it for half year, special things are the course string (indicator), the rotor-head and the engine.
In reality the decals don't look that strange, they don't have this glossy effect. The sticks, seats and doors are detailled, too. It's a Revell kit for 10 Euro :P Julian
