"Blue Thunder" Color

It's been ages since I saw that movie the last time, but as far as I can remember it was very, very very dark.
Maybe black with a little blue in it ???

Yes..but all of instruction is Korean. The cockpit interior I guess it should be Gray May be same as Huey and the exterior may be mix I saw from the Official website of Blue Thunder the color is looke like the police form (Blue) so actually I need the English version of this instruction. By the way thanks for your suggestion.

I don't remember the interior color of BT, but the cockpit color of the later Hueys was black.

Oh..Great!! How should I do next? But the base of BT is Gazelle, the helo from France. Do you have any comment? Dan
Thanks again

I'd use Model Master Blue Angel Blue on it and then hit it with a flat coat.

As for the interior, if you want to make it "NVG Compatible", it should be flat black, or at least a really dark grey.

If you can, why don't you rent the movie and check the colors for yourself?
There's no better reference (it's probably better than the instructions!), and plus, it's a good movie. Any movie that has a helo shooting down an F-16 or two is worth watching again!

It is indeed, but I didn't care much for that TV-show that came of it.

Please don't tell me that show made it to Belgium! Oh man, we are SO SORRY!

Good Idea for J-Hulk. May be hard to find here but I have to try. Thank you to all of you guys. I will inform you later after get the result.

Good luck. Narete!
I never saw the series...was it that bad? And is it safe to assume Roy Scheider and Malcom McDowell were not in it?

EDIT: Well, of course Malcom McDowell wasn't in the series! He croaked in the film!

J-Hulk
I have seen in the movie (VCR) when I was young and I never saw the TV series also. When I was young every movies are fantastic and great. The helo series that I'd seen was "Airwolf" But "McGyver" is my feverite. Oh..How old I am?

Narete,

Glad to see you're ok. We're hearing terrible things here about the earthquake/tsunamis and were hoping everything was ok your way.

Have a happy new year!

narete;

Try viewing the http://bthunder.cjb.net/ website it has some other links regarding Blue Thunder. I hope this will help.

All the best for 2005

Cheers;

Thanks so much for your kindly help especially Cobrahistorian. In fact, this is the first time in Thailand for real Earthquake/Tsunami (Tsu = Port or Pier and Nami = Wave) it far from my place so much. Do not worry now. Our Redcross need the Rh- Blood Type very much for the foriengh tourists (Corcasian). They can serve only 1/3 of Victims because ther Rh+ type is for Asian (I just knew) and it cannot instead of use.

I have the Monogram Blue Thunder 1/32 scale kit # 6036 model. The box says it is molded in metallic blue but it is not very good. I'd repaint it with metallic blue. I have instructions if you'd like a copy. Also found it easy to do the cockpit instruments with a "Sharpie" fine point marker using a couple of magnifing lens. I have a lighted magnify lens attatched to my modeling table which helps a lot. I'm building my Blue Thunder chopper as a high-tech TV/radio news copter.

Thanks so much Chevit2001. How can I get your copy? Can you scan in pdf format and send me by E-mail?

Those images and blueprint plans of Blue Thunder on that website are really nice and good reference material. Tried to print them out but my printer cuts off part of the images. Is there some way I can print off the full images?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! chevit2001

I think I can help
There were two aircraft build based on Aerospatiale Gazelles. The fuselage was modified using aluminum and spray foam with a glaze overspray. One aircraft was fliable the other was not. The forward cockpit was an extension of the aitframe and did not have any working flight controls. All live controls were in the back (Original cockpit).

The aircraft were modified and operated by a company in Long Beach California called Associated Helicopter. The company is now out of business and in fact one of the pilots who flew shots in BT died while flying making the movie Delta Force 2.

One of the ships went to Universal Studios in Los Angeles California the other I don't know it's fate.

Having been in and around the BT ships I can tell you that the color was a special mix if Dupont Imron paint. It was a dark blue semi gloss pretty close to Model Masters Non-Spec blue just a semigloss. The interior plastic and fabric was close to a light Aircraft Gray with black exposed metal frames. Seats and consoles were semi gloss and flat black.

Hope that helps.

That was going to be my suggestion...I seem to recall it being about that color (more or less).
