About this pattern

A dark green military-style transport helicopter standing on its wheels, seen from the side with its nose to the left. It has a long, low cabin with pale blue glass at the sloped nose and two square cabin windows, a darker green engine housing on the roof under the rotor mast, and a thin tail boom that runs back to a swept-back tail with a small upright tail rotor. The long gray main rotor lies across the top, each blade dropping one row half way out. Darker green shade runs along the belly and under the tail boom.

63 stitches wide by 29 high: 925 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Ultra Dark Pistachio Green 890 and 3 more).
