Scale 450 UH-1C

[Admiral]

All coming together great, makes me want to drag mine out and fly it again.

 

[Jimbo]

Thank you. I am pleased with the results thus far. My 450, with the Naza-H, is flying so well, that it is all I have been flying. Getting excited about putting it in this fuselage.

Weathering is on. Now it looks like the combat veteran the full scale on was. Next, the weapon pods.

[Boogs]

You cut those with your vinyl cutter? The weathering really brought it to life!

 

[Jimbo]

Markings have been applied.

That bird looks really good Jim,
I have a 500 size UH-1N kit that I'm going to wrap around my Trex500.
Hope it turns out this good!

 

[Jimbo]

Thank you bassslayer. I'm sure yours will turn out well. Please keep us posted on your build.

My mistake, won't happen again.

Made the rocket tubes from 1/4 inch tubing and the mini guns are Roban.

Very happy with the way these turned out. Here is a side view.

Looks REAL GOOD , Jimbo
How long did you have to wait for the Roban chain guns?
Is that your old unit crest?
Robert

 

[Jimbo]

Thanks Robert. I am pleased with it. The mini guns are part of a set I got from RC Aerodyne. I just modified the rocket tubes to ones that were more correct.

Weapon Set for UH-1B (600 SIZE)

Yes, that is the unit patch for 7/17th Air Cav. It was changed to the crossed sabers around 1969.

That fuse looks absolutely fantastic!

 

[Boogs]

Nice work on the weapons systems Jim, looks right.

 

[Jimbo]

Thanks Rick. For some reason, they always make the mini guns too small. Those are for a 600 and are perfect for a 450 . They always make the barrels to short.

Jim

 

[Boogs]

I would have not known had you not told me. They fit rather well, rocket launchers look sweet.

 

[Jimbo]

Done and flying. Nothing fancy, as I am still working on my flying skills, but it looks good in the air, I think.

Jim

Very nice Jimbo,
Heli looks GREAT!
Takes me back to the days of FAST ROPING to the ground.
Your flying skills look good to me and scale to boot.
Robert
