SteveV22FE Posted December 26, 2009 Report Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) A fun what-if of the Blue Thunder helicopter. Edited December 26, 2009 by SteveV22FE
JeffS Posted December 26, 2009 Report Posted December 26, 2009 Hi Steve. Now that is really cool. I love the scheme. Very original.
TimHortman Posted December 26, 2009 Report Posted December 26, 2009 Nice work with a subject that isn't seen too often! Thanks for sharing
ghodges Posted December 26, 2009 Report Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Crisp work indeed! If you hadn't posted as a "what-if, I'd have never known the difference. They say ignorance is bliss after all.....Thanks for posting and congrats on a sweet build! Gil (one of the MOST blissful IPMS members around) Edited December 27, 2009 by ghodges
jcorley Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 Nice Build. Have you worked out an alternate history for it yet? Looks like markings from Ft Rucker. Hmmmmm, a training bird? Relegated to the rear lines after a dismall record in Iraq? You tell us, this could be fun if we all put our noggins together.

It explains the whole story :-)
ewahl Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Looks like markings from Ft Rucker. Hmmmmm, a training bird? Relegated to the rear lines after a dismall record in Iraq? My son-in-law is an Army CW3 flight instructor at Ft. Rucker. He thinks this is an upgrade to the UH-60M he is now teaching guys to fly. Ed
philp Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Steve, Hope you are bringing this to Phoenix. Would look great on the SIG table if you don't enter it.
David M. Knights Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Is Acoma an Indian tribe? All the US Army helicopters are named after tribes.
SteveV22FE Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Posted January 8, 2010 Is Acoma an Indian tribe? All the US Army helicopters are named after tribes. The Acoma Native American tribe was in the Santa Fe area of New Mexico.I chose "Scout" versus "Warrior" because it sounded more unique!
SteveV22FE Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Posted January 8, 2010 Steve, Hope you are bringing this to Phoenix. Would look great on the SIG table if you don't enter it. I built this one specifically for Phoenix! Phoenix will be my first IPMS contest since 1987!!!

ghodges Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 Outstanding article Steve! It shows a lot of thought, very good research and attention to detail, and above all, is completely believable! Like I said, if it wasn't in the "silly week" articles, I'd taken it for gospel! GIL
