Great job. I'll have to get round to trying one of my bigger Hueys. I'd like to try one of the lesser known paint schemes just to make a change from OD. I've seen pics of tan and black over OD which looks prety good so I'm thinking along the lines of that. Looking through the Squadron books on the Huey there are quite a few variations to try out.

Anyway, great model, thanks for sharing it and for the inspiration.

Looks good.  Interesting paint scheme.  Good to see some of the lesser depicted schemes and not just an overall OD Hogg.  Good job.

Supposedly 3rd platoon at Ben Hoa, 1969. The door art is not what you normally see in Picts.



After 18 months or so, I decided to finish my seminar 1/35 UH-1B with Cobra Co. unarmored seats
and rotor blades from thier UH-1C back date UH-1B set. My original blades were destroyed by the mold release agent on the rubber ammo (also destriyed parts of the mini gun as well.

But all was not lost as the scheme I chose to portray didn't show miniguns. And all I had to do was grab the seven shot FFAR pod from a revell 1/32 UH-1D and I was good to go. I made all the decals myself except for the numbers and US Army which came from a Fireball UH-1D sheet.

This is a kit I'd like to do again - sat on my shelf for 10 years, then on the bench for 2. None the less it was a good kit. Too bad they are not represented in the states. I think I can still get kits from HL Japan.

Thanks for looking
