1/35 MRC Bell UH1C

This is the latest edition Bell UH1C used by the 1st Air Cav in Vietnam.  I decided to make this model again as I  l love Hueys.  The model went together well as usual straight out of the box except I added visors to the pilots and gunner using Testors putty and shaped them when the putty had dried.

I added seat belts from duct tape and small micros on the helmets.  I painted it with standard paint Testors Olive Drab with a can of Dull Coat to tone it down.  Decals were from the spares box.  The action pics used a few firecrackers and a smoke bomb for effectto give a change from the usual pictures.  It was a good kit to make.  Just wish MRC would bring out a 1/35th UH1D.
