The tall skids folded up on the SOTAS birds so that the radar pod could rotate. They looked quite strange sitting on the ground. John Hairell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FR. Here's a few photos from various sources. the nose is made form a highly modified M5 40mm turret. I hope that helps. Ray Edited August 9, 2017 by rotorwash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Russian Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 very helpful, particularly the third pic. I'm trying to guesstimate the width of the mod, knowing that it is modified from the $0mm mount helps. FR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JesusNut Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Here are a few pictures from my Dad's collection. As far as I know, he or one of his unit took these pictures. Obviously an Air America aircraft The aircraft he was flying when he got shot down. If KH ever releases its kit in 1/35, I want to build a diorama of this. I have found the truck in 1/35. Bullet hole in cowling More bullet holes This was a well-worn aircraft. Same aircraft shown in my signature below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were known as 'The Good' 'The Bad' and 'The Ugly' Here is one from April 1973 per the date on the photograph. The large nose mounted antenna was known as the Elephant brander. Interesting mod, and the seats are from a P-3 Orion. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake36bravo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks for the ID on the aircraft seats. I had wondered about those seats for a long time. The whole radio room package slid in which you can see in that image sits above the cabin floor. I wont bore anyone with pictures of the radios or receivers. The EH-1H and current EH-60A/L aircraft are the end product of Project Left Bank. Project Left Bank communications intercept helicopter 'The Ugly' - 371st Radio Research Company, ASA ADF - 1969 image from Col Yates 371st Radio Research Company 'The Good' ASA ADF Left Bank 1968-69 Phuoc Vinh, RVN image from Bob Herring Early UH-1D Left Bank Huey with its distinctive elephant brander antenna. Image from Col. Carlos Collat. Not 100% ascertained but this image looks CONUS during stateside trials of the package. SPC Christopher Joseph Schramm, 371ST RRC, 509TH ASA GROUP, 1 CAV DIV, with his Left Bank Huey 'Snooper 1'. Chris was killed 13 May 1968 while en-route to Camp Evans when their vehicle struck a land mine. Chris jumped from the truck to go to the aid of other wounded soldiers and detonated a land mine.
