Looks like it’s new tool, not a repop of the old Dragon kit.

Based off this pic of parts, it does look like all-new molding. Very nice. I hope they do a whole line of new MD-500s / OH-6s.

Could be a nice kit. I’m waiting for my Zimi AH-6J. Some folks seem skeptical about the upgrades, but I’m pretty sure they’re wrong.

Yoav Efrati called it the Subaru of the air due to its low cost and size I just love the little thing.

Do you refer to these upgrades from Toucan, or Zimi upgrades of the Kittyhawk kit?

There is also a rotor head available for the littlebird.
I fleetingly considered doing another one, with the plank '240 and fairings on the canopy, but gave it up.
Good luck with your build
