hawkwrench Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Does anybody have any close up pics of the TH-67? Exterior, interior, cockpit, IP, etc? I've looked all over the net and can't find any GOOD shots of the helicopter! Thanks! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, if the TH-57 is really as similar as it looks (see last pic), I have a complete walkaround of it including cockpit shots. Just let me know if you want them.

hawkwrench Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 What engine does the Creek use? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 They are both basic Bell 206B3 Jet Ranger III helicopters with Allison/Rolls Royce 250C20 J or R engines. The instrument trainers have the dual generator set up, plain ol' Vanilla jet rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks Winnie, now I just need some pics of the engine while installed on the bird! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 If I was at base I would take them, unfortunately I am in the field firefighting and thus only have a 204B to take pictures of! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Are based out of Rucker?if so, is there any way maybe you could get some shots of the IFR equipped instrument panels and the controls? If so, that would be great. Rotor wash has some pics of a Navy TH-57 he's gonna send me to use for reference. This idea started of with me building a TV news chopper, but I'm liking this Creek thing more and more! Tim Edited July 27, 2014 by hawkwrench Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Tim, The Rucker IP's call the TH-67 the "Flying Creamsicle" because of the gaudy color scheme. Should look great on a contest table. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 What color is that gaudy orange anyway? Is the white, orange, and black a gloss or flat color? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I fly in Northern Saskatchewan at the mo, so no, not at Mother Rucker! But anyway, I could wish? Cheers Harald Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ray, I got your pic file, but my eye-phone keeps telling me that Safari is unable to download file. I'll try to DL the file on my computer at home later this week and see if it works. Thanks for sending them to me anyway! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it works on your computer. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tim, Did you get the photos? I was at Rucker yesterday and while I wasn't able to get pics of the interior and engine, I did shoot some shots I hope might help with your build. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Does anybody know what color orange is used on the TH-67? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Now that Italeri will re issue their 206 in 1/48, i might built this one. Tim, i would go with semi gloss white and international orange. All the clear parts seems they are tinted with blue, you can use Tamiya clear blue very thinned. For the upper glass (aka greenhouse), use Tamiya clear green or Testors clear green, both works well. Main rotor mast and hub are painted aircraft gray FS16473, main blades satin black lower surface, semi gloss white upper surface Tail rotor blades semi gloss white with semi gloss black stripes. Mast and hub a mix of aircraft gray and natural metal parts. The interior is a mix of civilian gray paint and aircraft interior black, mostly on instrument panel, seats and walls, the black is almost on the cockpit area. Rod.

rotorwash Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It's not international orange. It's more of a civilian color. They aren't called "flying creamsicles" for nothing! Also, it fades a lot over time. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ray, during my research for my model, I've learned that the Creek has crashworthy seats. Is their anyway you or your mechanic friend have any pics of these seats by chance. So far, I've not found any pics of these seats. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never actually got up close to a 67 and took pics believe it or not. I hope we get one at the Army Aviation Museum. If we do, I should eb able to get any pics you need there.

hawkwrench Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ok, Thank you. Hopefully the museum gets one considering it has trained thousands of would be Army Aviators! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ok, so shortly, I will be starting a build of the TH-67 I've wanted to do for a few years. I've decided to title the thread TH-67 "Nickel ride". It's going to be a diorama of a Creek on the flightline, but I'm not sure about the rest. The base will be a wooden base with the US Army Flight School Center patch on the right corner with Army Aviators wings on the left corner while the middle will have a plate that says "US Army Flight School TH-67 Creek "Nickel Ride" Here's where I would like your guys input. I have 3 ideas for the dio 1) The helo sitting on the flightline with both pilot's doors open with 2 figures (IP and student) standing in front of the nose in flight gear. 2) Both pilots seated in the cockpit with doors open like its getting ready to start.( Hopefully the Reedoak seated pilots will fit with a little modding) 3) Somehow have the helo in the air a little of the bsde at an odd angle like the student just took control . What do you guys think? Yes, it will be a slow build as usual! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I would go with the option of the two pilots posing in front of the helicopter, and the bird with the pilot doors open. Are you using the revell jet ranger kit? If so, that kit has a big issue and its the windshield, its very weird. Please post your build, would love to see it! Rod.

hawkwrench Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ray, would safety orange be a close color for the orange on the helicopter? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
