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.

Thanks. Yeah, surprising what thinned paint will do.

If pickel decides to do them again I may in fact put them on this one.

That turned out great! So, you're done, or still need to weather, or tinker more?

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. :talktothehand:

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.

Thanks.

Dunno if I want to start dirtying her up a bit or get back to work on the Type 92.

All the M158s require is finding the right material for tubes.

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)... :D

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

I really can't find reliable exhaust pics. Anyhow if there were any exhaust staining it would be on the rotors, as I have a deflector on it.

Pretty sure the ship has sailed on stripes. That antenna system is pretty permanent.
