Cool looking Marine UH-1Y


Recommended Posts

I'm not a huge fan of grey Marine helos but this Yankee that's flying off the USS Boxer in the Persian Gulf is pretty cool looking.  Really like the old pirate flag.   If someone ever gets around to releasing a 35th scale version of this helo with these markings, I think I might be in.

Seems like all the Boxer helos are into pirate themes.  Here's another example (sorry for the small pic, couldn't find anything larger online):

I covered three of the four Zulus on my 1/35th sheet. The fourth, which is in your photo, didn't get that flag until they were already underway. HMLA-267 sent me full walk around photos of their Yankees and Zulus before heading out (except the Zulu YP40). All of the Yankee decal art is ready to go. First to be done in 1/48 for the KH kit, then for the 1/35th Yankee.

Hmm, another interesting hint.  Any insight on who might be making a 1/35 UH-1Y...Academy maybe?  Please let us in on the secret.
