40 year-old Aurora AH-64 Cheyenne whiffer paint-job.

[CSMO]

I bought and built this model when stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky in 1974. It is OOB except for the paint. The Cheyenne was such a hot performing aircraft that it deserved an Air Force type paint-job. Army helos, since Vietnam are Flat O.D. Helo Drab with black lettering. I substituted Gray for one of the Greens in the Vietnam camouflage  scheme. This was one of the first models that I used, the then newly-discovered, Humbrol paints on.

Adios, Larry.

Ah! Such memories, a model I remember well. 

[Dizzyfugu]

Uh, sexy!   

[kerick]

That looks great! And you have carried it around all these years. And still in the proper number of pieces.

[Captain Canada]

Looks great like that...definitely better than the boring green !

Nice work.

[The Rat]

TEEEEERRIFIC!

I always loved the Cheyenne, a pity it never made it into service.

Your model looks as if it DID make it in though. 

[Joe C-P]

Very nice work. 
Like the Cheyenne, someday I'll follow in your footsteps with a USN or USMC.

Spooky.  I was reading about these this morning.
Nice build.  I wish some of my stuff from back then had survived.

[NARSES2]

Looks right in those colours

[KiwiZac]

Very very nice! The SEA scheme - or, in your case, the SAC scheme - fits very nicely on the AH-56. Well done, and even more so for keeping it in AWESOME condition for 40 years!

[rickshaw]

Quite nicely done.  The Cheyenne always looked a bit of a beauty.  What scale is it?  1/48?

[CSMO]

1/72. The One True Scale.

Adios, Larry.

[Army of One]
