Hey All,

After completing my AH-6 Diorama some time ago im about to start another. This time im thinking an MH-6M dropping of some operators onto the roof of a house in Iraq.
I know I need to do a bit of scratch building on the Dragon kit and are collecting pics now. Does anyone out there have any good pics of late model Little Birds.
Here are a few pics of how the AH-6 turned out.

1. Your AH-6 looks amazing!!
2. Converting an AH-6J to an MH-6M involves making a six-bladed main rotor and a four bladed tail rotor. As for pictures, this guy has a nice photo CD.

Thanks for the compliments. The figure is actually a combination of a the Verlinden Vietnam guy cleaning his rifle and a new Verlinden head.

Can anyone help me with loading up pics.

Very nice build, paint, weathering looks great. You did an excellent job joining the window to the fuselage as with the tail boom.

It's nice to see the Helicopter forum booming, thanks for sharing.

Happy Modeling,
Joe
