We had a term for a chopper like this one. Called it a "Sunday goto meeting bird".  Just look at it! No doors to get in your way. Seat's folded up out of the way, and who knows what else. All business!

Now I'm going 1/35th for sure, but might do a 1/48th. I used to have this one bunch put us on mountain tops all over the place, and were always there to get my sorry butt outta there. Took several of us to the hospital a few times as well. They had a cobra head painted on the nose (yellow or white?). Were always there for me.

That's the one for me!!

"Danger Pig!" Love this one! Picture is from someone in Facebook and The huey Facebook page 778881C8-5479-4E10-B9C0-1619108FD5D0_zps

Photo is from Dan McClinton.  I posted all his photos in a separate thread.

This scheme seems pretty nice. Part of Hasagawa's "new" AH-1F and UH-1H set in 1/72.

Might be an interesting dio as it appears everything is in the kit box and I do have some F's laying around. A new product idea (skis) for someone, maybe a quick fix to an existing product (hint, hint) .

 

Anyone have any more photos of this? Google what not helpful at least that I saw.

Those japanease JGSDF Hueys are very cool, their camo schemes are awesome. Please be aware that there are some models that looks identical to a Huey II, wide chord blades, right side tail rotor, etc, they are known as UH-1J. They have standard Hueys like the one in the photo but it has a right handed tail rotor.

A question  for  Ray /Rod / Floyd and anyone who knows about Nam hueys

 

Means that with the KH for example those lady can be done OOB meaning that the KH brings those guns??

my question is because I see different opinions on the 1/48 KH huey post that if it can be or no be done OOB

 

with the decals exception ?

Charlie,

Yes, it can be made, but be aware that the bird in the photos is a restored one with some innacuracies that are not found in vietnam era Hueys, for example the black main rotor hub, stab bar, black rotor blades, and the FM antenna on the roof. Those details are post vietnam mods.

The M60s are genuine but they lack of the support brackets for mounting them on the floor.

Thanks for the info. That didn't help with the google search but found around nice scheme.

 

335th AHC - all black bird, white-blue roof stripes, white tail numbers. There was no other insignia or markings.

that means the KH brings those guns? My idea is to do a restored one like the Comanchero for example one day... I mean do it just like the photos above

Having trouble deciding between the all black slick and the firefly? What about "Night Mare" - all black nighthawk:
