Thanks to a friend's generosity, I have finally finished a build that I have wanted to do for over 20 years. This is revell's 1/32 Huey with markings from Fireball works. I built her as the bird Robert Mason, author of "Chickenhawk" flew during his tour of Viet Nam in 1965-1966.

I'm glad you were able to complete this project and you can never have too many Hueys. The Fireball decals look great as well.

Love the bird,. Almost as much as I loved the book. I still have my copy from Jr. High School (too many years ago to count). Great looking Huey.
Nice looking Chopper you have there!
I read that book about 15 years ago now. Great book!
Nice work! Looks great. Where did Chickenhawk come from?

Thanks guys. Chickenhawk came from a conversation in the book between Mason and another pilot, one said something to the efect of "so what are we, checkens, or hawks?", to which the other replied "we are chickenhawks,", or something like that, I forget exactly.
Bump so some can see Fireballmodelworks decals.
good looking build, always loved that old Revell 32 scale Huey
If I ever get a chance to build a Revell 1/32 UH-1D I am going to spruce it up with some 1/35 scale pilots and the XM23 door guns from the 1/35 Panda UH-1N. Right now I have 2 1/48 UH-1D's one I will be scratch building the rest of the XM23 mount from the Italeri UH-1N and resin M60s from propaganda Kompany and Ii have a 3rd 1/48 scale UH-1D coming in that includes the Cobra Company XM23 set that I just picked up on Ebay for $39 minus shipping. I will definitely need to pick up the fireball decals so I can have more options.
On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6

You know that Chris has the XM23 set on the Cobra Company site for $10 right? Of course if you are international, I know it can be more difficult to order from CC.

Great looking build.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
