HL-10 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 This started out as a quick build but I couldn't help myself and started to add details. I added a couple of resin stretchers to the side litters along with some tissue blankets. The cockpit had some bits and pieces added and I refined some other kit parts. The stars and bars on the tail boom were added to make it look more like the choppers from the film/T.V. series. upload pictures imgupload image hosting 12mb pictures upload picture sharing free photo hosting Thanks for looking 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoshenko Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Lovely work. Like the stretchers and the interior details like the pilot's headset. Nice tribute to a fine TV series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worm Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Looks like a 47D and I love the stretchers and blankets, they make the model. Is that the 1/35 Academy kit by the way? Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it! I loved the show, I have the complete box set I also enjoy the original film too. The series lasted longer than the actual Korean war! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cameraman Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi HL-10, lovely recreation of the Bell 47. I was a fan of the TV series but was most surprised when I watched the US re-runs, when compared with that shown by the BBC, as the US version has 'canned laughter', which just doesn't work for me. Regards Reggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 When the BBC first showed the series, they dropped the laughter track. It was briefly re-instated but there were complaints so they took if of again. The re-runs on various satellite/cable channels has the laughter track, as does the box set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 that is simply ONE OUTSTANDING model you have built. One can imagine snd conjure up its mission looking like that. ... the little detailed touches are EXCELLENTLY done. you scratch built the blankets et al.... AWESOME build. .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What a lovely model! Well done on the extra details as well. A couple of bits of MASH trivia for you (I'm a bit of a fan); In the film the shots of the loudspeaker with the moon above were filmed when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the Sea of Tranquility. The series was ambiguous about whether it was in Vietnam or Korea by design. The locals straw hats aren't a Korean thing for example. There were occasional snippets that told you it was Korea but only enough to satisfy the programme sponsors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What a fantastic build - love it! Isn't it amazing how very simple this machine is when compared to choppers today. Simplicity that worked with no real electronics to foul up Loved the M*A*S*H series when Ii was growing up. Still see the odd re-run every now and then. "Hotlips" Hoolahan (?) - never knew what she saw in Major whats-his-face (name escapes me right now).... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Majors Margaret Houlihan and Frank Burns were both regular military who looked upon the draftees with contempt. Hawkeye and Trapper represented all that was wrong in the military to them. Then one thing led to another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster213 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Weirdly enough, Ive just posted on the newbie forum as my return to building models. Currently its a Vulcan... I know now its huge but hey ho eyes are not as sharp as they were nor hands as nimble. We shall see.... BUT.... I was reminicing on You Tube and caught a quick video of M.A.S.H... ( great series) and I thought I have never buit a helicopter so will make that my next project.... Hmmm just saw yours.....not sure I can measure up to that...Its superb, even when I was good I wasnt that good..LOL. but will give it a good go....Just not been able to find a 1/72 scale model of the 47D (with saddle tanks).... was yours a larger scale..
