This is the same model I posted earlier. I have added Pilots from the MRC/Academy OH-58D kit. These represent modern pilots well and have seat belts already molded onto them. The Operators are molds from a friend of mine in Italy, Klaus Pagano (Avus at FSM). He has made the legs, torsos, and heads with new MITCH helmets. I think they capture the look of current Operators well. I modified M-4s with sights and a silencer on one as well. Hope you like them.

Hey Gine, looks great from what I can see. You think maybe you can show a few smaller pics, just to see the over all heli and figures. Yhe figures do look good though.

That is an awesome setup. Were those figures designed specifically for sitting on the sides of a chopper? They look fantastic

the figures and the helicopter are great just an awesome job on modifing those figures for the helicopter.
Only one little thing the figure on the last picture, his gun isn't drilled out.

Greetz Rob!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Shermie,
The figure are were made for the purpose of sitting on the plaks of the MH-6J. I have a few more and plan on using them in the back of a Blackhawk as well, slightly modified though, as regular GIs.

Robster,
The gun barrel on that figure looks big in the picture, but it is tiny. It is a 1/35 M-4, too small for me to drill out. The other two that are drilled out are larger, an .0040 rod on both for silencers. The M203 40mm launcher tube is drilled out on that guy as well.
