I'm giving you a head start to start saving!

 

[Darkhorse]

Is there a look at the new kit?

 

[Sharkmouth]

New kit is not out yet, only renders...

 

[Darkhorse]

Oh the weathering side of me can't wait! Have to get some "Sea Wolf" hueys hey!

Sea Wolf Hueys? Or the Gecko Models PCF?

 

[Darkhorse]

I will have to get a 1/35 Huey and do it up as a Sea Wolf.....I certainly will get the swift boat when he comes out.
Ay thoughts on a good huey kit, from what I have read the "Sea Wolves" used the earlier model gunships?

If keeping it to 1/35th scale there are Academy and Trumpeter... I have the former, unimpressed, and the latter is supposedly better.

Trumpeter's UH-1B Gunship can be used to create this:

Academy UH-1C for this one (note the PBR):

Seems decals would be the great problem for this unit.
Yes have been told that the Trumpeter is a better kit, I won't be getting one for awhile, just had a HUGE vet bill

First time I have ever done a metal aircraft finish

Appears that markings are hard to get hold of.....any advice gentleman?

Unless you state which of the four variants you bought, it might be hard to provide advice. I have the OV-1D and plan to not use much of the decals as I prefer sharkmouth schemes.

Roden 1/48 OV-1A Mohawk - OV-1 - iModeler

By Spiros Pendedekas - Hi everyone! This is my Roden 1/48 OV-1A Mohawk, finished as the "Phantom Hawks” 60-3736 JOV-1A, flown by Capt. Mike Langer, as it stood in Vietnam in December 1964. The Grumman OV-1 Mohawk is an armed military observation and attack aircraft that was designed for...

This is what I'm intending to do, alas no decals to do it with

 

[Sharkmouth]

Well, @Darkhorse, I found a set in Canada but the price is more than one pays for the kit! Don't click and spare yourself a heart attack!
