I was just doing a little recreational surfing and found the following on the modelmecca site;

CZ F35171
(N)UH Door Gunners Vietnam (2 Figures)

Does anyone have a pic of these guys? I love to see any addition to the sparse helo crew kits around.

Great Models has its status marked as 'future' (no pix) so maybe it hasn't been released yet.

Click here to go to the Czech Masters site - click on the thumbnail picture of the figures to see a pop-up window with the figures enlarged.

Look good, but badly painted...

acav, thanks for the picture, I was looking around on their site , but couldn't find anything. I think I've seen this set before. Were these available in a different scale before or released earlier?

You can find a better CMK photo here:

They're essentially Vietnam-era figures due to their "Chicken Plate" body armor and won't work for the UH-60 (in modern times).

The only 1/35 seated modern helo crew that I know of with the correct modern body armor and vest is Nemrod. Of course you pay the price to "get what you paid for."

I've no affiliation with Blast Models and just used their site as photo reference.

The UH-60 crew that are mentioned and linked above are not the same figures listed as Future Releases at GM. The UH Doorgunners is a future release and is a mystery since no one has seen any pics of them. I hope they look good, but that is still to be seen. They are listed as Vietnam doorgunners.

As Gino says, and Wolfe's clearly indicated, we're talking abou a 'NAM CREW here. NOT UH-60 crews. So far the best I've seen is DML's Huey crew.

Whoops! My goof . Yup, I agree that the DML crew is the best for the cheapest.

I wish someone would make some Slick door gunners. These are nice, but they're Bravo or Charlie model door gunners, which can be modified from any seated 'Nam figure, if the heads are replaced. What I could do with are some gunners in firing poses with the pintle-mounted weapons from the Delta & Hotel models. Even one of the DML gunners is really a Hog gunner, with the weapon in his lap.
