SPA Modeler

OK, off and running, nothing started, just opening my build. I am building this

I will be doing her in The Good Widow Mrs. Jones markings. I have actual images of the real bird obtained from one of her pilots. Here is the actual nose art, from when he flew her.

Nice! Those are great, iconic aircraft....love 'em.

Nice! Will be interesting to see how accurate this kit is. As iconic as the Huey no kit manufacturer seems to get everything right about her.

Cool. I’ll be following this one. Hot nose art!

Huey gunship! Nice! I like the nose art too!! Watching this one....

One area the Kitty Hawk kit gets wrong is the scissors/push pull tubes on the rotor head. Will have to figure out how to correct it. I'll try to post pics of what I mean later. Oh, BTW, not a gunship, troop transport. The only country to use the D/H as a gunship was Australia.

Oh can't wait to see this one! I've always wanted to do a Dustoff helo.

The ARVN also used the long cabin Hueys as gunships.

This will be a good one to follow...

That's right, I forgot about that lol.

Next month the UH-1D will have its last flight here in Germany. Good bye, Teppichklopfer!
