I think this aircraft had the exposed minigun, not the covered one.

Floyd I think you are correct but I wanted to incorporate this cover on this helo, it was from a description I read in a book. Hope you will forgive the speculation and indulge my artistic impulses.

No worries. It is your model. Who is to say they didn't have the cover on at sometime.

starting to paint the Torque (observer gunner) he is mostly from the Dragon kit, with a head from Hornet and the M-60 is also from Dragon.

Doug,

Super work! You should name the chopper "Phoenix" for the bird that came back from the ashes!

Thanks but I don't understand what you mean. It didn't take that long to finish did it?

Maybe too late, but minigun ammo box from Dragon kit is very bad and unaccurated...and it use to be painted in OD color, not gray...anyway, your painting work is great, and the gunner is fantastic...Vladimir Demchenko from Bravo-6 is making right now a complet crew for UH-1 and a set of sixties for the huey
