Miss Clawd Little Bird Crew

Few old snaps of my Little Bird " Miss Clawd " crew , assigned to the Air Cav .  Don`t think I`ll be doing much to these any time soon , but thought some of you might like to see . In Vietnam there was normally just the two crew in a little bird , a pilot and a Door Gunner Guessing it would of been the same in Huey`s , but the Door gunner`s M.60  was attached to a kind of short bunji cord , which allowed him to lean out and not fall out when looking or gunning for the Vietcong ect . As well as his M.60 , door gunners often had a box of grenades , or some hung on cord in the back of the Heli , he could simply drop these on the enemy , handy if they hid in a hole or similar . Pilots often carried private purchased fancy pistols in western style belts and holsters , a lot of Huey pilots placed the holstered pistols between there legs during " hot " situations , to give a bit of protection to those private important bits .    

I don't see any pics, just the code. Anyone else!

Pics show up fine for me and look really good!

Very cool chopper crew, Chip!

Wow. These guys are really awesome. And that chopper is sweet.

Yes, Talon, I also saw only code, but fixed it here too. Maybe it is a Mac vs PC issue? Anyway, I'm not doing that again.

Great figures (love the cavalry hat mixed in) and awesome chopper.

Nice figures!

And thanks for the effort Gube!

Gotta love those littlerbird helicopters! Great selection of figures too Chip!

Really great, I always wanted one of these little birds, I remember the roof of my local toys R us had all 3 of them on display, dunno what happened to them when they renovated.

The chopper is nice indeed. Is that a MBB Bo-105?

Thanks , but no it`s an MH-6 Little Bird .

Thanks for all the other kind comments .

Those are some really well-outfitted figures, all their gear and weapons look great. Easy to mistake them for real people in some photos. That chopper is also quite amazing and makes the whole seem feel legit, it must have been pricey!! Also is that a Laurence Fishburne headsculpt in the first few photos?

Thanks so much , very complimentary .   I just checked when I took these photos , it was in 2007   , The Heli was not to bad a price at the time as I recall , and they were quite cheap to pick up for a while at one point , but prices have rocketed for them again now I believe . Yes that is a Laurence Fishburne sculpt , but as mentioned I took these pics way back , I think it might of been an old BBI sculpt .

Awesome crew! And that chopper is so cool, I wish I had room for such a beast, it's awesome!
