Hi guys
After six months of being on the shelf I finally managed to complete this diorama. It basically depicts a group of LRRP being ambushed by the NVA.....but never fear help is always at hand, as the nearest OH-6A came to their aid.
The models are a mixture of Dragon and Tamiya, and all the vegetations are scratched. As always any comments are welcome. Enjoy

Nice piece of work.
Is the OH-6A still available?I have an old one on my shelf that I was going to use as a wreck,but I would like to build another.I haven't noticed it on any sites lately.

Very nice. Nice job on the helo and the diorama. I like the hidden MG team.

Very original, good work all around (perhaps the palm leaves are a bit strangely dented)
