My UH-1C "Mustang 6" is done!

All I can say is Outstanding. A perfect model. I hope mine comes out 1/10th as good as yours does. I also agree that belongs in a muesum.

Did you custom make the intake screens? I have the screens for the engine panels but do not believe my photo etch kits included intake screens. I will have to look.

Great job Andy

Charlie

  Thank you guys! Thanks for the compliments and for support

Andy, I just went through the construction by Dishmodels

You did a very high level job, I did'nt realise you build this one until now.

It gives such a feeling of perfection. congratulation

Norbert

Good to see this build back at the top!  I still am in awe every time I see her, Andy.

Doubt that Im the only one who would love to see some more shots of this, er, model. So how about it? I've drooled all over these already. Multiple times!

Love those early forward raked skids despite the havoc they caused coupled with Density air and underpowered engines. Anyone for a bunny hop?

first of all I could almost hear the engine warming up. That bird is about as real as it can get! I nearly bought that kit yesterday afternoon, but had a slight reservation about the turret up front. Did they give you the option of not using it? Lastly, the next time you take that bird up can I go for a ride?

"collecting dust"!  Shudder the thought.  That beautiful bird should be collecting trophies!!

   Thank you guys ones again!

and if that little project was of any inspiration for you  - I am satisfied )))

  My goal was achived...although now, looking at it sitting on my shelf collecting dust I always think - oh this and this could be done better... Oh well, maybe next time :-))

    Andy

Andy,

  Good to see this back at the top where it belongs!

That is simply the finest model I have ever seen, this should be on the cover of FSM!!

Lee

absolutly amazing

great detail....and I love it....

All I can say is: holy crap (in the good way).

PB

i thought you said you were posting pics of a model? Where is it?

GREAT job

  Thanks for the feedback gentlmen!

 Comments are very appritiated. Especially when they are coming from guys working on real helicopters every day.

  Andy

 Looks like she's up for her 25 hour.  I think I see a hydraulic leak there.  May wanna look at that.  

Seriously, when I showed my wife that pic, she initially thought it was real.  That is one amazing helicopter Andy.  You've set the bar waaaaay high on this one.  I seriously think that is the most beautiful model I've ever seen.

Jon
 

Wow, that is awesome.

I love Hueys. But seeing this model, it nearly makes me feel like giving up. I don't think I could ever get this good... :(

Talk about raising the bar !!!

Really , outstanding work.

David, 

Just noticed your post referencing the "castellated fibre-locknut".  Remind me to tell you my "Charlie" model "war story" about one of those "nuts"!  Isn't there a model show this weekend in "lower" LA?  Andy has done a fantastic job!

Mel

Wow!

One of the best builds I've ever seen. Absolutely superb!

Good idea Ray, fantastic build isnt it, im deffo going to get some of those eduard sets, they really help bring it to life.

Andy
