UH-1V United Stated Army 0-22507

This is my 1/48th scale Italeri UH-1V Medevac Huey. I built it representing UH-1V serial 0-22507 from the United Sates Army National Guard. The model was built using some aftermarket sets, Fireball Modelworks ASE, the rescue hoist was made completely from scratch and a lot of scratch work was done in the cabin area and exterior such as jungle penetrator, a Gatorade cooler, lift mirror, Main Rotor Mast, Stab bar, transmission and more.

The model was painted with Model Master acrylic Paints.  The main exterior color is U.S. Army Helo Drab FS34087.  For the base exterior I used interior yellow.  

Weathering was done using pastel chalks and swabs.

Always wanted to make a medevac UH-1V, and with this one I have a lot of fun.  Is not perfect but I really love this model.

Until next Huey
