UH-1H Future WIP

Thanks HeavyArty!  I will try again with a couple more pictures to see if I can get it right! And I agree, the pattern is close.  

Here are a couple pictures of his chopper after he got shot down.  Notice the bullet holes!

You are close on your photo posting.  You need to copy the "Direct" link from Photobucket and paste it into the "Source" box on the Edit Image tab (square with a mountain and moon on the tool bar when writing your post).

The pattern looks very similar to the USAF 20th SOS (Special Operations Squadron) pattern also used in Vietnam.  Below are UH-1Ns at Da Nang 1971. 

So, trying to figure out how to work this forum, and add some pictures as I go.  If I am successfull, here are some pics of the actual helicopter I want to model.  These show the spraying rig for Agent Orange, and I will not be including that.  But I do want to "dirty" it up like in the pictures.  Dad was telling me that about 2 months after he made AC, they repainted his helicopter and that actually made him sad, in that he took pride in having the "workhorse" of the platoon.  Sad may not be the best description, but I think you all will understand what I am saying. 

Sweet...I dig some camo Hueys!

My Dad was a Huey pilot. I built him one from his first Cav Unit "Blackhawks"...based at Ft. Knox, back in the mid-late 70's. I used the same kit you are planning on. It's been a long time, but I don't recall much in the way of trouble spots with the build. That one is long since gone. I did another one for him, using ...???...Dragons kit.

The model is of this one...depicted before the engine failure!

He managed to bring her down in the only clearing for miles...took a bounce, spun and the tail caught the corner of a government truck...what are the odds?!!!

Close call...quite a drop off there!

Hello!

I would like to take a look at the build, too! Good luck, and have a nice day

Can't help you with the paint scheme but will be interested in your build. I was there (army) during about that same time period but honestly can't recall ever seeing a camoed helicopter of any species. Ours had a huge red number on the front end for 'advertising' purposes.
