This is the old
Revell UH-1D kit. It is depicted in a low hover dropping off troops in an area
of S.E. Asia during the Vietnam war. The pilots and ground troops are 1/35
DML. The door gunners are converted Tamiya with some added DML parts. The
helicopter is suspended from a brass rod attached at the base. The ground
cover is moss for house plants, airbrushed with various shades of green and
yellow acrylics. The base size is 24" x 24". The diorama is on
display in the office of an Oregon State Representative who was a
"slick" pilot during the war. I created this diorama about 8
years ago.
