Scale huey UH-1B 800 size

[philmill]

This is my shelved project too much work needed to get it in the air ( plan to start it in a couple of years when i have more time on my hands )

This is a 1980's HIROBO Huey gasser they only made the gasser for a couple of years this was a "loft" find its been in somebodys roof space for over 25 years never seen the light of day , its huge my 450 huey looks nothing at side of it and the detail is very good over 2500 alloy rivits all doors / hatches are working with brass hinges and locks there is a lot of work to restore this bird and get her flying again

Thanks for the nice coments guys its going to take a lot of work and a good bit of money i think its worth spending to get this old classic bird back flying again ,

i have used HM armed forces for pilots and gunner , but they had nice faces i needed a BAD BAD man for the gunner so i used a head of a WWF street fighter he was the baddest i could find LOL.
