                        Radio rack in a UH-1H C&C Bird in Vietnam
                        Posted by RCH73 on Friday, August 28, 2015 8:14 PM

                        I'm planning to build a UH-1H which was my dad's aircraft in 69-70.  He was the Bde Cdr, 1st Bde, 1st Cav at the time, at Tay Ninh.  Need help with a photo or two of the radio rack in a C&C bird of that era.  Suspect he would have had at least two VRC-46's in there if not three.  I have looked online and found an exterior shot of his bird, but no inside shots.  Anyone have any clues?  Also, anyone know of aftermarket radio sets, or will I have to scratchbuild it?  Scale is 1/32, using the Panda kit. Thanks, Bob

                        No pics, they are seemingly impossible to find.  If you are using the Panda kit, it is 1/35, not 1/32.  Verlinden has aftermarket VRC-46 series radios.

                        Gino:  thanks very much, the Verlinden kit is just what I need.  I have a friend who is active in a Vietnam helicopter pilot group and he is canvassing them for me as well.  So far I have one pic of a D-model exterior and one of himself looking studly leaning against what appears to be another D. 

                        We appear to have much in common in our backgrounds; I'll send a pm.  I've enjoyed reading your posts over the last few years.

                        cheers, Bob

                        Glad to help.  I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out.   Let me know if you find an C&C bird pics too.
