WildBill50 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 I think it's been a year since I posted a model. Between Photobucket and having to get a new computer and then figuring out a new way to post something I just kind of gave up on doing so. Anyway, I was building stuff throughout the year, so here is one of the models that I got done. I received this last December for a birthday gift from my daughter. The Lakota is a Eurocopter EC-145 in a militarized state. It does VIP transport and light utility along with Medivac. I saw one of these at the Oshkosh Air Show a couple of years back and thought it was a really cool looking helicopter. Low and behold Revell Germany redid their EC-145 Air Ambulance and added a couple of new sprues. I hear the EC-145/UH-72 model is one of Revell's best kits. I thought it was too. So here are some shots of it in all of its gaudy paint scheme splendor. I used MM paints for it for the most part. I had to mix up a color or two for the cammo scheme. Revell only gives you their paint numbers so I had to find a conversion chart which was located and utilized. This was a great model with tons of detail inside and out. I highly recommend this one to anyone who wants a clean build and a nice finished model right out of the box.

Mark Deliduka Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 Don't worry Will, I got it moved for you. This is a great model too! I love the camouflage pattern on it. Congrats on a job well done.
ghodges Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 Gotta echo Duke's kudos on the camo. Sharp looking helo! Congrats! GIL :smiley16:
WildBill50 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks for moving it for me Duke. I wasn't sure if that could be done. I think the camo really makes it. At first I was iffy on it. It sure beats Helo Olive Drab. Thanks for looking. Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 You're welcome Bill! Yes, it is an easy thing for Mods to move Threads. Your camouflage is excellent and is indeed better than plain OD. I would love to see one of these in 1/72 scale with US Army markings.
WildBill50 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Posted January 1, 2018 RG makes an EC-145 in 72 scale. Medivac. Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Cool. I'll have to look into that then. Maybe someone makes some military decals for it.
