Danstream Posted February 6, 2022 #151 Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, I have been far from the forum the last days and today I see that you completed them! Well done, despite the limitations of the kits, as you said, they look the part. Not easy kits, we have seen that, but you did a good job!

Well, I tried to make them authentic, did the best I could... Thank you It's appreciated very much... There were more markings that were supposed to go on the bottom side of the rotors, (installation dates and such) but they fell apart due to age and were just too tiny to save.. As it was each and every decal split in some fashion... And there are no aftermarket parts or accessories for this aircraft, so I had to make them work... I think I saved enough to make them presentable... The early days of Helicopters, you would think that they would understand that at times it is just not smart to be a stand up guy, especially during operating helicopter rotor maintenance training... Better to be a heads up guy rather than a stand up guy in that situation.... Live and learn, thankfully they took the lesson well and it only cost them some temporary pain and embarrassment... At least they can instruct the young ones in what happens to you when you stick your head in a turning rotor... I wonder if that was a lesson they really wanted to teach? They saved a lot of lives in that respect, they were worth every penny... Thank you for your service my friend...

IF it had existed it could have looked something like this I suppose: I know, those are all pictures of a modern-day restored Huey, But my ex wife kind of cleaned me out of almost all of my pictures, if I even took one that included the top view of the blades. That is also lost in that same drug induced unsupported haze. But I was able to come up with this, two at any rate: If limited memory serves this should be sometime around 1969-70 at least that is the dates on my DD-214. Sorry, best I can do. Nice job on the H-13s. I think I will have to go for the ambulance one as well. #241 just looks too pimped out for my aging OD stained eyeballs.

Thank you, It was one of those trying to figure out what the kit fit in real life, cause it sure didn't fit a Korean War air ambulance and I didn't want to do what everyone else did... So it had to be a General Officers taxi or a training bird... The Ft Wolters scheme fit it better and it wouldn't be just another OD green machine... Not something modeled often...

Thank you for those I didn't doubt you at all but it's nice to actually see it, strange that it wasn't picked up by some of the detail rags that seem to get printed every couple of years... I suspect it was considered a one off if anyone actually saw it... But this confirms that no it wasn't a one-off... Now I've got my odd detail for the Slick when I get around to it!! {chuckle} Thanks Thanks for the complements on the H-13's, the in country-in service persons will connect with the Air-evac bird I'm gathering... It's something they all can feel... The training bird will connect on a different level with a very select crowd and won't have the emotional draw than a bird that's coming to drag your butt out of a tight spot will... It definitely has that TV show "Whirlybird" look to it.... But it was worth modeling, tens of thousands of heli pilots got their introduction to flight in that bird and it's still one of the most liked helis flying today... Again thanks...

When I watch all the old Vietnam war movies I chuckle when I see that or the guys that wait till the blades have stopped before they even open the door... Now on the early choppers yeah it was a consideration, those blades did have some droop and some of them actually were designed in a way that made such mandatory... (The Kaman Huskies & H-21's come to mind) but the Huey, the blades were stiff enough and high enough to not need to worry about it... On TV and the movies you can always tell a chopper guy from the wannabe's when they get closer to that rotating wing... chuckle Jack12477, Canute, popeye the sailor and 4 others 7 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"

You missed my favorite childhood version, The first season of The Whirlybirds! Having looked at an episode on YouTube or somewhere recently I have no idea why I loved the show back when I was seven or eight, but like Sea Hunt and a few other programs of the time I loved it. I was even able to send away and get the sanctioned Bell 47G model from the show. Spent a lot of back yard time with that! May have even been the reason I jumped at the job of door gunner when the opportunity presented itself years later. I too as a kid had to watch Whirlybirds. Now a much older kid, I would like to build their helicopter also. How did you make the decals? If you have any extras, I would be more than happy to purchase them from you. Or just the artwork would work as well. If you don't mind contacting me at gary2weston at outlookdotcom. Thank you in advance for your information and help.
