As promised, here is the dio of the UH-1H Dust-Off I have been working on for a customer. The helo is the Panda 1/35th kit with corrections made to make it a pretty accurate H model. The interior was upgraded using the Cobra Company UH-1 Upgrade set. Figures are modified Dragon Vietnam Helo crew. The surprise that I had mentioned before is the suspended flight medic on the hoist and jungle penetrator. Most of the interior parts are scratch or converted from other kits such as the crew chief seats, litters, hoist, jungle penetrator, etc. The tress are made from a wire skeleton, covered in masking tape and sealed with white glue. The branches are dried branches from a Creosote bush that grows here in the desert. The leaves are perfect for large, jungly 1/35 leaves. I dried them, sealed them with Urethane, then sprayed them green so they won't turn brown. It was challenging and fun, I love how it looks.
This is the pic that inspired it:
Without further adu, here it is.
