albymoore Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thought I heard a rumblin'/Calling to my name/Two hundred million guns are loaded/Satan cries "take aim"/Better run through the jungle... Hey Gang- This is my recently completed 1/72 Italeri UH-1B Huey Gunship, in the markings of the 120th AHC Razorbacks, circa Vietnam. Made a bunch of enhancements and additions to the kit. Huey gunships are very busy in the cargo/cockpit area, so the bulk of the work was done in those two spots (most of which can be seen in this Facebook photo album- https://www.facebook.com/Albymoore/media_set?set=a.10201484012640568.1073741838.1183606216&type=3# ). I also did some exterior work where needed. The Razorback decals were custom made by Joseph Osborn of Fireball Modelworks, while the rest of the markings were sourced from various US Army Huey decal sheets. All comments and critiques welcomed, and thanks for looking! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hello, I believe Creedence Clearwater Revival helps to build good Vietnam era models. Very convincing kitbash (I think I can recognize parts of different Italeri choppers in your build). Great Cayuse also - what about building the new AH-1 G Cobra in 1/72. Would make a nice trio.

albymoore Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks for the kudos guys, I appreciate it. @ Mario- funny you mention an AH-1 to go with the Huey and the Loach. I just ordered the new Special Hobby AH-1G and will start it the second the UPS guy delivers it. \ Cheers, Albert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
