Ambush Valley - a Vietnam Project
Part 2 - dustoff chopper
I build up a 1/100 UH-1 kit from revell to get one of the most iconic choppers from the vietnam war.
As I started this project I thought about how to fit in a UH-1 to go with my marines as they did not use those choppers ad far as I know. So I ended up building mine as a dustoff or medevac/casevac helicopter… and I think I will need him alot.
The kit is quiet nice for what it costs but also fiddly and I think not the youngest. I painted the windows the same way I did on my team yankee cobras. Those clear parts just look a bit weird because they are way to thick.
Great idea, @miniaturebrushwork – I used the same Revell 1:100 Hueys for my Vietnam force (I think I had the UH-1H “gunship”.
How did you like those 18 pieces of clear plastic for the canopy sections? 😮
Those 18 pieces are the reason I only own one of these choppers?. Would be much better if it had big clear parts covering the entire nose.
These small parts are way to fiddly.
