D. have you ever thought what would happen to the occupent if the thing flipped over? I just found a cheap kit to use for the campaign. (Academy's 1/48 Hughes' 500D in Israeli markings)

Bob

sweet im still on the fence as there are so many heli projects i want to do.so far the Blackhawk and the Huey are at the top of my list

Many of the kits that I would be interested in are really expensive, much more than a/c. So I just happened on the MD500 for 12.00.

Bob

Its not the kit Bob its what you make it

Justin, I guess you did not see that I was signed up for this campaign. Here is what I have to build.




Bob

Yes I havent checked lately my bad looks like a good kit i will watch because i want one of those as well.

Oh I suppose I'll join. Now to decide between an MH-6, MH-53, MH-47 or MH-60 DAP.

AS for the CV-22. I would have to say it is more of a Helicopter than a plane. It can only land one way. It has no provisions for landing as an airplane,unless of course you want the blades to disintegrate.

Herky

awesome town population you.thanks for signing up guys.
I still am looking at an air cav Huey or a special ops black hawk probably both we will see what santa brings

I'm in

I've got the Hasegawa black hawk in 1/72 but I'll try to buy one of these great Hobby Boss Heli's

Although Helicopters are aircraft aren't they


Cheers Nick

I'm a new Helicopter convert.

The other day I saw a video about how helicopters 'work' - how a wing generates lift is pretty widely known and understood, but the application of aeronaustical knowledge to allow the helicopter craft to fly, hover, turn etc. was in a word 'genius'

I have profound respect for helicopters now, bordering on awe.

I'm hooked, but I don't know if I will join your group build, but we'll see.

@nick good to have you look forward to what you produce Sir.

@Bink careful I tend to attract wierdos(damian and Hermon)

Bink, he is only half way joking

Bob

I just purchased a Revell Huey Hog on evilbay for 7.99 including the shipping. Is this a worthy kit?


Bob

You are !!

@auss

@big of course I always wondered is that kit raised panel lines

@ Justin: when the Huey arrives I will take some photos to let you know about the kit.

@ D.: Justin is going to get you drunk before your first patroll

Bob

Ohhh, nice campaign.

On this occasion I will build the UH-34 J Sea Horse (Italeri 1:72).
It's very long time on my wishlist.

I'm in.

I'm in, got an old ERTL 1/48 Airwolf in the stash that I've been meaning to build for a while.

awesome good to have you guys that air wolf is going to be cool

Does anyone have any objections to me using the helicopter service medal?

depending how fast I build, I may also do a 1/32 Revell AH-64A with the full verlinden treatment.

that will be cool to see.looking forward to that happening

Love the Ribbon and I just hope I can get the USCG Jayhawk conversion set from Corba Company in the States to earn it

Now to get my official head on. In order to leave 2012 as free as possible for future campaigns we have brought this one forward by a month. so this campaign will now be starting 1st June 2011 and ending 31st December 2011.

Cheers

Allen

Justin, nice ribbon I like it. Does anyone want a Revell HUEY HOG kit. I will not be using it for the campaign and will never build it.
