"Pink Team!" OH-6A and AH-1G in 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hello gentlemen!

 

I think many of you have read Hugh L. Mills Jr.s book "Low Level Hell" and enjoyed it as I did. So I used the opportunity of the German Modeller Forum www.modellboard.net and built a 1/72 scale "Pink Team" in our unofficial Vietnam-GB.

 

The kits are the Italeri OH-6A and the Revell AH-1G, with decals of ther (crappy) MasterCraft Cobra. I used those decals because they depict "Squatter Swatter", the Cobra that was flown by Hugh Mills favorite "Gun-pilot", Dean Sinor (and apparently Hugh flew this specific Snake during his last tour in Vietnam). So I was able not just to depict two representatives of a typical "Pink Team", but a pair that actually flew together!

 

So, I will spare you more details and show you the models instead. If you have any questions, I´m happy to answer them.

Are these choppers fighting ants in the garden?     Say, this Cobra appears much larger than the Loach.  Both are on my to-do list...I have the hobbyboss vietnam cobra, way too many parts...ridiculous.

more than 200 Cobra's got lost in the vietnam war...wow...
