Hi Gary,
thanks for so many and amazing pictures.
At the very first moment when I discovered your album, I was truly impressed.
Fantastic close up pictures!
I think it was in the 80ies, as Verlinden introduced his tremendous model magazines with a lot of Vietnam themes built as scale models!
Your album is a treasure and as well an inspiration for me!
I`ve built only one Vietnam Diorama in scale 48, and it was sadly no chopper. It was only a Sandy/ FAW diorama with a Birddog.
I`m sure one of my next Vietnam models will have a theme as you`ve shown in your album.
Thanks Gary!

I only wish that somebody will come out with a really nice 1/48th scale AH-1G.
It's hard to believe that after 45 yrs it hasn't been done yet. Oh look!! Another P-51 or Bf-109 kit is out. I'll get off the soap box now.
