Looking to build a 1/35 scale Medevac Helo

Thanks, glad it is of help.  The hoist is modified from the one in the 1/35 Academy MH-60G PaveHawk kit. 

Good luck.

Gino,

 Again, Thank you for all this info, it's so helpful. Your build of the MedEvac is beautiful very nicely done. Awesome pictures too. This will get me on the right track. I think I'm going to take your advise and stick with the Dragon model and wait for the new Fireball release.

Where did you get the hoist from?

Hi Carlos,

The best bet is to stick with the Dragon (or Panda) UH-1D/H if you are going to pose it with your other 1/35 Dragon UH-1D.  Fireball Modelworks is about to release a UH-1H/V MedEvac conversion set for the old 1/32 Revell model, I'm sure it could be modified to fit the Dragon one as well.  Or you could scratch the interior conversions....

I did a Vietnam MedEvac Huey a while ago. 

More pics here.  You can also follow the build here, here, and here.

I built this for a customer last year.  It represents a UH-1H MedEvac from the 57th Medical Detachment in Vietnam, "The Original Dustoffs".  It was made from a heavily modified 1/35 Panda UH-1D/H.

I don't have any pics handy, but if you do a Google search for UH-1H MedEvac or MedEvac Huey (some variation along those lines) you will find lots of pics.  Also check out Dustoff.org, the Army Air Ambulance Association.  They have an extensive photo gallery.

To post pics here, you first have to host them somewhere on the web, PhotoBucket is a good, free site.  Once hosted, look below the pics where it shows the IMG image tags.  Copy that link and paste into your post.  They should show up.
