ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Greetings to all! Let's go over a montage "mad in Brazil" ... Here in Brazil is difficult to get some kits and so I bought a simple kit from Academy portraying a 500D to undergo changes that transform an OH-6A model used in the Vietnam War ... video showing me the kit can be seen here:https://www.youtube.com/embed/1jnF4Pkwx7c?feature=oembed The basic changes are: The work in this model should not take long because it is a simpler and less helicopter parts compared to other more complex ... Changes require cuts, so let's run these cuts ... Edited November 6, 2017 by ALEXANDRE REZENDE Photobucket's suicide Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 How are you going to handle the rear door height and enlarged window above it? You only mentioned the side window in your basic change image or at least that is how google translated the text I wrote. Looks good so far and some of those drawings look like they could be used to modify the kit parts even if one keeps it as a 500D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
