Literally UH-34 in the Paddy

[rtfoe]

Hi,

I am currently doing a build blog of this Marine workhorse in the Dio in construction section because it was slated for the dio. Anyway this was completed years ago along with the dio and I thought I'd show it here. The props are not drooped as it is supposed to be in flight. The kit is a 1/72 Italeri kit.

You can just see through the mesh...

You'll be wondering why the crew chief is showing his thumbs up...well he was doing this for a year before i added the grunts on the ground who were waving up to him.:smiling2:

Well, good to see a helicopter for a change. Nice finish mate.

Thanks Wouter...this is only my second helicopter. They're nice but them rotor blades just use up lotsa space.

Cheers,
Richard

I can hear you. Normally I'm going to do one in a month or two because I was stupid enough to take up the challenge This one sure will be used as motivation!

Cheers

Wouter, I'll definitely keep you company when you start on a heli.

Cheers,

Great to see it on its own Richard.:thumb2:
Really nice pre shading work.
Crewchief with thumbs up can also be a sight at an airshow.:tongue-out3:

[rtfoe]

Hi John, just following the rules here on separate postings for specific genres as this is a finished helicopter just waiting to be installed into a dio. Unfortunately nearly 50% of the beginning of the dio blog is the preparation of the helicopter. It is now only starting to touch on the base of the dio.

Cheers,
Richard
