1:35 Academy Bell 47D M*A*S*H helicopter REVEAL!

Post by fly1ngdutchm4n »

Well guys, Here is my reveal of this whirly bird.
I realy enjoyed building this kit. It was a easy fit with little errors in it.
And as you probably know, I do more than just the kit.... I like putting it in a diorama or on a base. :dance:
And so I did with this Bell....

I took foto's from the Bell on the base and some pics off the base as you will see.
We are even go back in time a little...

I hope you guys like this reveal as much as I did building this kit :th:

Now let's take off!

And a bonus video to say thanks for waching!
Wanted to put the M*A*S*H theme under the video, but could not do it.. sorry

That is a grogeous little bell, beautifully built. The diorama frames it so well. Top Job.

Frans you've produced an absolute stunner, really beautiful creation which reflects the period wonderfully.

In my eyes the figure is perfect and complements the dio so so well, his pose suggests the balance of relaxing/ weariness and madness which a medevac pilot must have had.

Well done
