They gave way to unit numbering on the pilots doors, geometric shapes, and colored bands on the tails depending on whether you were in I, II, or III Corps in Vietnam. Wow those are cool markings. That would look great on this new kit. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is this possibly a C&C Huey or just a late-war Huey with an extra radio? Given its location, I guess it can be assumed it isn't a lift ship. Thanks. LD. Never saw such a configuration. However, this Picture has been flipped over. This is looking at Right Side of this Huey, NOT the Left side. Bo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uh, ...... the SPH-4 is the same as the Mickey Mouse ears ones??? Those were really comfortable as compared to the kind you'd stick pads inside a hard shell helmet. We really liked the Mickey Mouse ears ones and thought FINALLY, the Army got some superior equipment!! Bo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
