Well I found it and everything looks amazing already.

Stuart I'd check on the rotor blades of the Kiowa; I believe they are a composite material, not metal and so wouldn't chip. Check to be sure though.

That’s what I was thinking. Not to mention that unless they’re operating in a sandy environment, there is not much abrasion on those blades.

You're both right Gents - so no chipping. I will however give it a grime wash and muddy up the skids a little.
