Looks good so far. You might try the old Squardom book "Gunslingers in Action" I'm sure there are other books out the also. Might try to find Hugh Mills book "Low Level Hell" I haven't seen it but it may have some pic's

That's a great looking bird you've got there. What figures are those? What kit are you building and how does it go together? Thanks for sharing your work with us.

I was checking out the photos again, and this is a really nice build you've got going. Dragon does have some nice kits and plastic figures, don't they? I was going back and forth on getting the pilot/crew set at the LHS, but I need modern crews for the helos I have...

Actually, I'm reading "Low Level Hell" right now and it does have some grainy black and white photos of the OH-6A, some showing minor cockpit detail.
(The book is at home.) But I do know at least one photo shows a little bit of the cockpit where Mills was sitting when he got hit and left the seat a bit bloody.
