“It's a mega, mega simple design. The imitation helicopter with a policeman as the pilot is again nothing more than a promotional set. It was an addition to shopping, or buying fuel at Shell stations in the late 90s. Just a little bonus. The helicopter is kept in black, white... More and gray colors with a propeller that is too small and lacks any structure that would resemble a helicopter in a broader outline.”
