Nice. One of my favorite helos. . .
Not because of M*A*S*H, but way back in the 70s, a local Station WHAS radio, a 50,000 watt clear channel station, had a gentleman jackwagon Gilber that flew one of these almost every day, morning and evening doing traffic. Quite a storyteller while flying as well. Great guy and a great chopper.

Coming along nicely! I did their 1/48 offering - really nice kit. I have another one - coast guard with floats.
It was a pretty small little bird in 1/48 - can't imagine 1/72!

Magnificent work Rodolfo! I built all three of these tiny helicopters so I know what you're experiencing.

Amazing work in 1/72. I struggled with the 1/35 version and can't even imagine doing it in this small scale.  |

Incredible work! I can't believe the scale either. Sure does look bigger. You guys on the forum never cease to amaze me.

Beautiful work! Every time I see an H-13 build, two things come to mind.... #1, hiding from the police helicopter when I was a rambunctious teen and that is what they flew looking for us hooligans... and #2, M*A*S*H* with its' associated theme song/music... not to mention that sound... different from all other choppers
