                          MRC 1/35th scale UH1C Gunship and Revell 1/32nd Scale UH1D.
                                             174th AHC Vietnam.
                                               Charles Johnson.

  Here are 4 MRC UH1C Guships i started back in Jan 08 and finished may 08 in between a break when i broke my wrist and surgery on it. out for 7 weeks

  MRC  UH1C are done in the usual way gull grey interiors and olive drab on the outside by model masters also sprayed with a  flat spray of dull coat varnish
   to tone down the paint shine.
  Decals came from fireball model works.

  Revell UH1D is the old huey kit from a long time ago  inside gutted and rebuilt using Cobra company  pilot seats and M-60 machine guns with mounts.
  painting was the usual grey interiors but the over all camo of olive drab and black for effect
  decals again came from fireball model works. and paint was model masters and floquill flat balck and dull spray varnish. models in flying position suspended by fishing wire

  The 174th used the UH1C as Gunships from 1965-71 naned Sharks with the logo on the nose of the flying tigers permission granted by the late Gen Robert Scott when they asked to paint the  a/c  that way.

  The UH1D camo was the only one in the unit with that paint scheme as it was used to support Special forces. all the rest of the units UH1D where Olive drab and named the Dolphins Unit served in country from 1965 till 1971 and lost 59 unit members KIA they all served with HONOR during that time.

  These models wher taken to the unit reunion may 2008 and given as gifts recieved well.

  My special thanks goes to the following people who help me with this project,

  Mr Ed ?  MRC  For  the shark decal bit late in coming. will be used at a later date

  Joe Osborn  Fireball model workshop for making the shark decals for the helos with out his help would never have got done in time.

  Cobra Company for the pilot seats and M-60 Door mounts. UH1D

  And Special Thanks to Wally Nunn Original door gunner on UH1D camo helo. Dolphins
  and Jim McDaniel  Original Shark Pilot.  Thank You All
