I'm just starting a 15mm Vietnam War project and I was looking for an OH-6 "Loach" in 15mm but can't find one. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Thanks

I used one from HOT WHEELS, not sure if there is a wargame made one out there.

QRF do the only one I know about. Had to order 3: one to crash and burn, two to keep flying.

The crashed one is for the PAVN objective in Tropic Lightning, under the old joke of "you know where the enemy is because there's a burning Loach…"

Not sure if they ever did one, but Revell Germany does 1/100th scale helos, so might be worth a look, if you want a plastic one.

We have pictures of the AH-6 and MH-6. The OH-6 is essentially the same, but with the V-tail instead of the T-tail. It's modelled doors closed.

You will need to 'tweak' the main rotor head though, as someone pointed out (after it had been on the market a couple of years) that I've dropped the same 5 bladed rotor head on it as the Little Bird, whereas the OH-6, of course, is a 4 bladed mini-beast. I will have to fix that…
