Vertol H-21 "Shawnee"

Here is the finished 1/72 scale HobbyCraft model:





I used Tamiya paints and pastels on the decals to weather it up a bit.

Thanks for looking!

Woooah... the H-21 is looking GOOD!! Smile [:)]

The only thing I'd mention is the forward Rotors: If you're looking at the aircraft from above, the Forward rotors turn counter-clockwise, the Aft clockwise.... see photo:



Beautiful job on the weathering and display, thanks! Smile [:)]

Take care,
Frank

That was a fun little kit as I recall. You did a real good job on it Dan.
IIRC, the instructions weren't too clear on the rotors and I made the same mistake.

Very subtle weathering for a workhorse and a nice build over-all. But for a few years, I may have been stuck flying that beast. No offense, but over-lapping, inter- meshing rotors remind me of a mid-air waiting to happen. All you "Hook" and "Phrog" types have my undying admiration. Bow [bow]

Thanks again everybody for the kind comments.

Wibhi2...you are right...the instructions showed both set of rotor blades the same way...I guess I should have done some research!
