Grandfathers UH-2A
1967 era

Scale:
1:72
Status:
In progress
Started:
June 30, 2024
Time spent:
8 hours

My grandfather flew UH-2As with HC-2 (And i think SH-3s with HS-8). I have his flight jacket and I know he deployed with the USS America Det. 66 in 1967. I'd like to recreate his seasprite with proper name stenciling and everything.

Originally wanted to do 1:48 scale but seems like Clear Prop isnt going to be releasing the 1:48 UH-2A/B, so we'll go with the 1:72 scale
