This is actually a Sikorsky S-52. If you look closely at the newer version it utilizes the windscreen and nose section from a Bell 206. Probably a good thing as far aesthetics and replacement. My concern would be the blades. How have they been stored, are they new, used? It only takes a tiny amount of damage to render a blade useless. I remember an Astar I used to fly experienced some hail damage as it couldn't get relocated to a hanger. To eyeball the blades they looked perfectly fine. A detailed inspection revealed they were trash.
