We miss him terribly, but I’m just at the point where I want to try and get back into the swing of things, so this week I had a go at something I know people here have wanted for some time – the Huey UH-1. I picked the D/H model – same airframe for each I think, but different engines inside the same cowling. Some 2008 of the “D” model were produced and 5435 of the “H”, the latter incorporating some “D” conversions. This is the model in Gmax:


With that number of helicopters built, it could be difficult to pick representative units to paint, never mind getting the right serial numbers. Does any one have a particular affinity with any particular “D” or “H” unit, or if not, would really like to see a particular paint, please? If scenery exists for the unit, that would help in the decision making.
Next job is to set the Huey up in FSX/P3D, test the lifts and then start the texture sheet layout and mapping.
