@ commissarmoody & sparrow: Thanks very much.


Only a couple more hundred VC to paint up now ;)

The fun never ends...

I did just buy a 1/48 H-34.


@ Paul: Just a thought, are there going to be any specific corpsman/medics for the USMC?
I'm assuming they would have the kit & equipment as the other marines (inc a weapon) so any rifleman could 'count as'.

Got around to making a landing pad to go with the Fire base bits.

Current WIP:

South Vietnamese Kingbee (H-34) 219th Squadron.




Ideally the doorgun should be a .30cal browning.

Excellent job Ash.

I assume the windows are masked off?

Thanks guys.
This thing is going to be interesting to store @ 30cm long with 36cm rotors

I assume the windows are masked off?

Yeah, still taped up. Pilots window just blutacked on for the pic & the door gunner is balancing on his little home made paperclip mount.

I'll chuck some weathering powder at the wheels, and that's probably it. From the few pictures I've found these H-34s had no markings, so no need for decals.

Fear not I’m seriously contemplating a CH-53 which works out at 47cm long. Shoebox or shelf won’t cut it, it will need its own hangar. Still, you get a nice jeep and howitzer with it, so appeals to the thrifty side, if not the practical side.

That sounds like an absolute beast, also reminds me that I still need a replacement for that rather vertically challenged 105mm howitzer that I picked up...
