I just realized you've just become a forum member Shreck, so let me see if I can give you a little more help. You can check with www.greatmodels.com or www.hometown-hobbies.com to see if they still carry the DML OH-6A helicopter. Also welcome to the forums. Semper fi, mike

Hey Shreck!
You're gonna find, if it is the same decals as the original issue, that it is "Miss Claud IV". Hugh Mills mount.
In fact, it will even have the markings for Mr. Mills helmet on the sheet. If not, there is a set of huey crew figures by DML that do have the markings for his helmet.
Oh and another thing. Hugh Mills is a member of this forum. As a matter of fact, he doesn't live too far from you. He is a helo pilot for the Kansas City PD.

Italeri also boxed the OH-6A in Vietnam markings. I do not recall if they come with the Miss Clawd markings or not though.

That they do! The Italeri kit is pretty much the same deal all around, including decals.
