OH-13 Sioux by Italeri, Part 1 Engine
In this video we take a look at what Italeri has provided for us in their Bell OH-13 Sioux helicopter kit.
The Bell OH-13 Sioux is one of the most iconic helicopters in aviation history. It was developed right after WWII and began service with the US Army in the late 1940s. It is most memorable as the helicopter that was featured in the hit TV series "MASH" and many of these choppers are still flying today.
This is Italeri's kit No 2820
I hoe you enjoy the video!

      Yes, they can be a bit rough around the edges, but they are fun kits to build!

      Thank you, Sir, you are too kind. I like the "stedi" MS-100, they have a screw stop which helps prevent the edges of the cutters from slamming into one another, that keeps them sharp much longer than my Tamiya ones. I think you'll like them; they are also less expensive than the Tamiya ones. Thanks for watching, have a great weekend. Johnny

    Bell didn't name it "Sioux." It's a US Army tradition for naming their aircraft in honor of Native American tribes, with a few exceptions.

    • @hillbillymodeling
      @hillbillymodeling 6 дней назад

      I've had so many comments on this I had to do some research on it, which, I guess, will teach me to say anything off the cuff again without exhaustive research. It turns out that once it was an army regulation which was discontinued and now it is considered a tradition. However, there are some army helicopters that are not named after tribes, like the Blackhawk, which was the name of and American Indian, not a tribe. Then there was the Sikorsky Sky Crane, which isn't an Indian Tribe, the Cobra which is a snake, and some others that just had nomenclatures. So, there you go. I hope that will set the record straight and that you will forgive me for my inaccuracy. Thanks for watching. Take care and model on my friend. Johnny

      It was a joke, one that you obviously didn't get. I hate explaining jokes, it takes the humor out of it, but for you I will. General George S Patton said that the British and the Americans were two peoples that were separated by a common language, something that I also find funny. One look at the languages on the box and you should be able to see that the languages are designated with a flag, none of which is and American flag, just the UK, and there is the joke, all meant in good humor.

    A great start to the new year with a helicopter build. I'm wanting to build a helicopter too as a start off for this year. I plan to build ICM's 1/48 AH-1G Bell Cobra gunship from the Vietnam war. It comes with the M8A1 landing mat which should make a nice display base to put the kit on. Also, when you see a FS number for paint it refers to set Federal Standard color used by governments and suppliers for procurement and specifications of paint. Many brands of hobby paints will claim their paint matches a FS number code for different colors. There are a lot of nice paint schemes for that kit.

      Thanks for the info on FS codes, Christopher, I didn't know that! It's always good to get some extra tips and info from the viewers. As you know, nobody can know everything, especially me, 😂. Good luck with your Cobra, I'm sure you're going to enjoy it! Take care and see you soon! Johnny

    Hey, great review on the OH-13 Sioux. I just bought myself a few hours ago the Revell's Bell H-13H Gunship 1-35th scale. Going to be interesting to build this kit. =)

    Hello Johnny do you have video on how to assemble a USS Arizona aircraft carrier

    • @hillbillymodeling
      @hillbillymodeling 9 дней назад

      Hi James, hope you had a nice Christmas and New Years. I think you might be confused, there was never an aircraft carrier named USS Arizona, The Arizona was a battleship which was sunk on December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor Hawaii. We even built a memorial over the sunken ship in honor of the sailors that die there. But to answer your question, I don't have any build videos of the USS Arizona or any aircraft carriers, take care. Johnny

      I am sorry you are right it was a battle ship I should have known that. Thanks for getting back with me. I hope you had a great Christmas and happy new year for 2025 be safe Jim.

    Although you guys in WV are a few hours behind us here in you know where, and we still have four hours to go, the people don't really care and are shooting fireworks since yesterday morning... so I guess it is alright to wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR 🙂
