Helicopters in Vietnam !?
« on: January 11, 2017, 01:16:46 PM »
Hi to everybody,
taking advantage of Battlefront discounts  I purchased a lot of the different helicopters that were present in Vietnam (1/100).
Not having the time to play, the purpose is mainly modeling and when I'll finish to paint 28mm old west miniatures and buildings, this will definitely be my next project.

I saw that in Vietnam were in use many more helicopters and  I'm looking for them (always in 1/100 scale). Below what I found:

UH-19D CHICKASAW (??)
CH-34C CHOCTAW (??)
CH-23 RAVEN (??)
OH-13S SIOUX (??)
CH-37B MOHAVE (??)
CH-47 CHINOOK (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/armamentsinminiature/aircraftinminiature/15mm/resinlist15mm.htm#vietnamwa)
CH-21C SHAWNEE (??)
CH-54 TARHE (http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=3697)

Extra, non helicopters, but why not:
0-1 BIRD DOG (FORMERLY L-19) (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/armamentsinminiature/aircraftinminiature/15mm/resinlist15mm.htm#vietnamwa)
Douglas AC-47D (Gun ship) (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/armamentsinminiature/aircraftinminiature/15mm/resinlist15mm.htm#vietnamwa)


Anyone can help me?

regards
Davide

Could not find any in 1/100 but this site http://www.dc-3.co.za/dc-3-c-47-models-plastic-kits.html gives 3 AC-47 in 1/90 but I have no idea if they are still in production.

I guess the most iconic one is the UH-1 Huey:
