JesusNut Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Absolutely fantastic Rod! Those rocket tubes look like they have just fired a salvo! If you get a moment, please explain your process for that. I would like to learn that technique for when it is time to do my C/M model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snake36bravo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Love this kit ( I have 12 in all boxings) but love what you did with it more. Right up there with Mustang-6. The floor mic switches, the drain gang, loaded flex chutes, all electrical wiring for the M134s, rooftop lights, ground points, VHF antennae on the roof, custom bulkhead, and so much more. Just a superb build! Edited June 2, 2018 by snake36bravo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rocket tubes are painted model master brass, the burnt effect is made with tamiya smoke, all added by airbrush. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thank you all! Well, i knew there was something missing, so here it is, the Reedoak SPH-4 post vietnam pilot helmets. I modify them and scrathbuild the AN AVS-9 NVGs. This were used by Salvadorean pilots during the early 90s. Hope you all enjoy. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ernest Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Hello, Rod Now that I will start armed with my version of UH-1M, but I am interested in the helo marked with the number 231 that I see that the El Salvador roundels use I remembered your excellent work last year and found your post .... More lively I am in building, but I have doubts, I would like to know your opinion, is the Photograph correct or later to its operational life was the roundels added? Is the photo color correct?
