UH-1 WIP.
- Thread starter K-Tiger
- Start date
The S.1 (Candy cane Air Defense scheme) was notorious for broken gear pegs.
Throw in the 'Nam Doods and I think we've got a deal.
Mine is the earlier one with the blue/gray bottom and blotches on the top of the scheme
Ok if i add the figures you send me $10 to ship and its a deal.
well shipping is going to be over $20 because i need a big box to fit the mig and the figures and the mig will total out over the price of the helmet + im not that into getting rid of the figures but i like that helmet lol
and i know the cc 190 was first but i ment earlier than that other 190 that looks simuler to mine but with a lighter green
The more I look at it the more I think I might should have done the brown, too. Didn't feel like pushing my luck though. No shot of the nose as I haven't done the art, but "Dixie" and "2" are up there.
It's not perfect but I can live with it for now. The antenna tensioner on the stinger should have more angle, but it's not killing me.

Definitely needs some tinkering. Really haven't decided on what to do with regards to weathering.
Definitely have to repaint the rotor head.
No, derek, I did NOT forget the antenna on the tail, it's just not visible in that picture. You can just make it out in the first WIP photo I posted.
I fully agree that it needs something gnarly and death-dealing hanging off it.
I'm still leaning towards making her a TOW bird, at least until I can come up with a removable mount extension for miniguns and twin 60s.
I also think it would look good carrying around Stinger 4x4 missiles.

I like the twin 60s and rocket pods idea. TOWs are usually associated with the Cobras and miniguns the Lil' Birds. Rockets and M-60s are definitely iconic Vietnam era Huey Hog weapons. Cue the Ride of the Valkaries...

There were TOWS on a Huey before they were on the Cobra, and I think I've made it quite clear that a single fuck will not be given for historical accuracy. 
I never said I was making another Vietnam Huey. I've got two of those already.

Ha, you act like there was only two Hueys in all of Vietnam. Well, I happen to know there were at least 5 or 6 of them (from the movie clip)... 
Looks good! Maybe some borwn stripes to go with the black ones, paint them so they are side by side(touching) for some contrast, or maybe whip out your airbrush and spray a little bit of dark grey from the exhaust. It'll also look real goodonce you get all the weapons mounted
Aluminum tubing from old rabbit-ear TV antennas? I've used them for gun barrels before, and you get several different sizes of tubing from the one antenna.
A little pipe cutter like this is invaluable.
