Gary Brantley Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 This model was built around 1994 or 95, if I recall correctly. It was photographed for the very first time in August 2014. It’s the old Monogram kit from 1986 and mine is painted in Israeli livery. It’s pretty much OOB but I did add a bit of screening to the turbine vents and made a couple sets of map that are stowed beside the seats. This kit suffered the only damage in transit to the airport out of five different aircraft traveling that hot day. The rotor is not attached and it fell off and knocked the cable cutter off the top of the cockpit 🤦♂️, easily seen in these pics. Oh well, the photo shoot must go on! The locale is the Coffield Regional Airport in Rockdale, Texas. H.H. Coffield was a local millionaire who owned a bunch of vintage WWII-era planes at one time, stored there at the airport in Rockdale. When he passed, the airport was bequeathed to the city of Rockdale, about 20 miles from my hometown of Cameron. The old hangar in these pics dates back to WWII, so I’m told. Thanks for taking a look and thanks for your comments on this old model. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks my friend! 🍨 Yeah, it's one of only two helos in my cabinet so far. The other is the Monogram (lol, what else?) Apache in 1/48. It has never been to the airport...yet. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
