Bell UH-1M Huey Gunship El Salvador Air Force 1/35 FINISHED


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

This is my current project, the Academy MRC UH-1C converted to a Salvadorean UH-1M with the toilet bowl as seen in action during the 1980s-90s war in El Salvador.

First of all i want to thank  Ray(Rotorwash), he provided me the kit for free,(thank you my friend)

I am using a lot of aftermarket sets such as the Eduard Big Ed, Fireball Modelworks M158 rocket pods, brass GAU-2 minigun barrells, and a couple of scratch pieces.

 

Heres some in progress pics of the cockpit, and some already painted bits. Hope you all enjoy!

 

Rod.

Hi Rod,

Could I trouble you for close up pics of the strela mod panels on both sides of the engine? Trying to scratch build it but have no ref pics of how it looks like close up so can't do the mounts etc...

 

TIA

Andy

Looking great Rod.  Where did you get the placard for the cabin?   It's nice to see a Mike-model in CARC.   Didn't some of these carry 500 lb bombs?

Thanks John. Yes, some were armed with MK-82s, but the one i am building will be with the M158 seven shot pod.
