Korean War Helicopters (1 Viewer)

[Blowtorch]

Just received the Korean War Sikorsky and it was suggested I post the photo here for the Korean War buffs. (Btw, the wife seriously liked this thing and wants it kept on our dining table!)

to get in the mood, a short cute video with nyc artist Hale Gurland in the driver seat:

Impressive

Good stuff.

That helicopter was also used by the French in Algeria. For example, https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/...to-the-helicopter-during-news-photo/134872431

So, it would work with TG's FFL figures, obviously you would have to repaint the chopper.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the comments. One last photo, the model came in need of some minor repair at the rotor, but I couldnt help myself and redid the whole mechanism. Not painted yet, but the glue is dry
