I wanted to have this iconic chopper for my Vietnam war collection and so i bought the above pictured Trumpeter model in 1/48. I wanted to use the new pilot miniatures from Empress Miniatures for this model. Normally the scale 1/48 isn't that far of and usable with 28mm figures as you can see here:
The 1/48 trumpeter model crewed with Empress Miniatures 28mm pilots.
And alongside some Empress Marines:

Great work! How did you make the flight stand? |

That looks fantastic, I love it! Meanwhile, I've been dashing my brains out trying to find one in 15mm-1/100, to no avail… V/R,

Great looking Seahorse, Tom! The "HUS" saw as much service in the Marines as did the C-46 Sea Knight. Looks awesome with your figs. Beautiful work, Tom! Thanks for sharing. |

Fascinating to see how this turned out. We had much earlier discussion about how we could overcome the apparent scale differences. This worked out great and I see you did go for the "leg extension" option in the end. It is so tricky to work out what "scale" is any 28mm range. One thing I have learnt is that 28mm can be anything from 1/48 to 1/56 and that is a big difference. Of course the trick is to measure the M16 length, not the height of the figure, a constantly repeated message. The kit determines scale. How the….heck…did you manage the canopy frames? and yes, you need those door gunners now! |

The flight stand is a old style car arial. I get them from e bay . They are quite cheap and you find them very frequently as they are used for old-timer repair. The frame of the canopy was freehand |

That looks swell. I have been eyeing that kit for awhile. Your rendition sold me. I also like the leg extensions. Well done! |
