I got a started OH-6 from a friend and am cleaning it up and trying to rescue it from the trash bin, I have done a lot of seam removal and glued on a few parts and am ready to start painting. I got a very cool decal sheet for Vietnam Loaches and am eager to get this one to that stage.

I started building a 1/48th one also as I got both 1/35th and 1/48th scale decals from Fireball and they are awesome so had to do another.

this is the AMP kit and I will post some stuff on it later.

I have the AMP kit sitting in the stash so I'm very interested in hearing what you have to say about it.

Fantastic work as usual, mr Cohen ...It's finished yet????...It should be parte of one of your fantastic dios??. Right now I'm finishing my loach, so the painting of yours should be a very good model to follow.

About details,search Google books for Tm for Oh6...lots of precise drawings ... All you need to make a perfect loach!!!

weapons for the OH-6
the M-60 and M-16 are from Dragon, the mini gun is from the kit, and the smoke grenades are rod stock and strip stock. I have made some frag grenades to place in the box as well
