oortiz10 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Howdy ARCers, I present to you my 2nd completion of 2023 and my first of 2 OH-6s that I'm building for my 2023 theme of "Pairs". I've always wanted to build a 20th SOS UH-1N, but I have been intimidated by the Leopard camo scheme I want to do. I always thought the scheme was beyond my airbrushing skill. So, I figured this little build would be good practice to see if I can pull it off before I tried it on the Huey. I have to say, I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out. This is Academy's MH-6 "Stealth Helicopter" boxing built up as a 20th SOS WIF. I swapped the seats with the ones from AMP's OH-6 and detailed them with some "seat covers" (cut from Band-Aids) and some paper seatbelts. The rocket pods, mini-guns and ammo chutes are from the spares box. The decals are from the spares drawer. Everything else, except the fine wire antenna and the aforementioned additions, is from the box. Paint is AK Real Color lacquers sprayed through my Sotar, and washes are Flory's. Let's take a look, shall we? Of course, comments, questions and criticisms are welcome. Now that this little guy's done, I can turn my attention to the (dreadful) AMP OH-6 that I have languishing. (Wish me luck.) Thanks for lookin'! -O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Great little helo! You nailed the camo perfectly. Very tight patterns. And the idea isn't too far fetched. The 6th SOS FID (Foreign Internal Defense) unit acquired their own fleet of helicopters and aircraft. One of their UH-1Ns was painted in a scheme similar to the one above. So, plausible idea they used a Killer Egg! -Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
