It's all done now. Here's the link to the building. I wasn't sure to put this in vehicles or aircraft since both are represented. So I'm putting it in both. The Huey in the aircraft forum and the Frieghtliner in the vehicles section. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235032875-124-uh-1d-huey-conversion-take-me-home-huey/&page=4 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235041358-freightliner-fl60-take-me-home-huey-hauler/&page=2&tab=comments#comment-3329083 Unfortunatly this and my Kenworth in the backround didn't place at all, but that doesn't matter, it's done. Had a lot of people gravitate to it. Maybe they know some Vietnam vets who could be helped by it like the real one was meant to do.

Since this is a vehicle as opposed to an aircraft, I figured I should put this here. A brief backround. This is a Freightliner FL60 with a Crew Chief RV body. This truck is what's called a toter. This one pulls the Take Me Home Huey around the U.S. here's the link to the build of the Huey. On the first page is a link to the Huey's story or just look up https://lighthorselegacy.org/ https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235032875-124-uh-1d-huey-conversion-take-me-home-huey/&page=3 The truck's cab is resin from Plaskit in Quebec. The frame will be the single axle Revell fire truck frame. I'm using this one because the actual truck does have rear air suspension. and it's a parts frame. I do want to add the front axle and springs from the AMT Ford Louisville. The RV body(or sleeper I guess) is being scratchbuilt. The floor is .080 and the walls are .060. The corner tubing is Strip styrene 234 11.1mm (7/16") The red portions are from a Revell sleeper air deflector. The cab was grafted to the sleeper as precisely as I could, then the rear wall was cut out. A lot of fich plates to hold the two floors together to so they don't break. The roof will be cut out after more of the top is made. The green sprue or runner is just there to support the roof for now.
