Wokka Wokka Wokka* - UH-1 part 3

The Hueys are now finished, so I took the opportunity offered by a brief burst of summer to photograph them in the Vietnamese jungle which passes for my lawn.
I went for an early sixties look in overall drab with white lettering and a gloss finish.  The glazing was painted in pale blue.  They certainly match my image of Hueys of that era.


* or as some would have us believe "chukka chukka chukka"   But that's just wrong.

Are you planning a Vietnam style version of LCW?

If I do so I'll be calling it 'Kinch don't surf...'

Great work Tim. They will of course need suitable musical accompaniment.

Cheers,

Very tuneful. You can see why the Fuhrer liked it so much.

HAHAHA...yes. I could be convinced of my error re. Huey sounds.

They do look fantastic in those pics of course.
