John Irwin Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Old build of mine, converted from the Dragon AH-6J. One of the first "Littlebirds" to fly with the 160th SOAR (Nightstalkers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted April 25, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 25, 2014 What a great build? Can you tell me any more about this kit? I quite fancy building one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Irwin Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 What a great build? Can you tell me any more about this kit? I quite fancy building one of these. Thanks James. There is an extensive build log here: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=188856&st=0 If the mods don't allow cross-posting, just let me know and I'll delete the link. The short story is that the base kit is the Dragon AH-6J Littlebird, with the exhaust supresors and a few bits donated from the Dragon MD500 Israeli Defender version. 7-shot rocket pod came from an OH-58 kit, decals are from Cobra Company, most of the PE is from the Eduard OH-6A kit, minigun is from Werner's Wings, all the antennas and interior bits are scratchbuilt. The entire project took nearly a year. Recieved lots of useful info on this particular helo from the pilot who used to fly it. He was one of the original members of the Nightstalkers.

Administrators James H Posted April 25, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 25, 2014 That's a great build topic. I've bookmarked to read properly later. I quite like the Vietnam and Korean War era helos. This and the Bell H-13 are very cool machines. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I served with the 40th ARRS at NKP Thailand flying HH53 Super Jolly Green Giants and just ordered a 1/48th scale HH53 via eBay along with a JU88A-4. Look forward to building both. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
