Title: H-21 And Now for Something Completely Different
Post by: ed s on June 02, 2015, 09:31:23 AM

OK. I have a 1/72 Italeri H-21. My goal is to build this into a flying Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile.

Obligatory starting pic.

Just thought I'd add a shot of the real "Wienermobile".

With that chopper you're half way there! Should be cool. Too bad Oscar Meyer didn't think of this.

My... helo has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R...!!

Definitely different!  Child-like (in a good way). 

Too cool!

except shooting hot dogs in a bun instead of 7.62mm rounds.

Finally getting some work done on this one. Of course, I can't complain about 10 days at the beach, even if I didn't get much modeling done.

I have the basic structure of the "bun" worked out. Ready to put some putty on it this evening. It took a little fiddling to get the landing gear to work with the "bun".

Nice work on the "bun" I imagine the real life version would look very much like what you have here.

Well, it's done. Not the greatest work. A bit frustrating toward the end as things kept getting screwed up. A combination of some kit problems and some ham-handedness.

Cool build!  :) Certainly captures the look of the original.
