Russian Huey what-if?

[dsawan 620]

Hi, guys. Been watching Rambo 2 and always loved the huey scene against the hind. I was wundering if anyone would be interested in making a Russian what if huey. I know there is a sf2 one already available. Just needs skinning or decals and maybe a russian loadout. instead of the m60 machine guns or american rocket pods, could be outfitted with their versions and RPK machine guns or DSHK. of course, the backstory could be after the war ends in '75, the captured American hueys from the South Vietnam's AF could be given to the Russians for their western frontier border areas and maybe some sold to China. Anyway, just a thought for a what-if.

Hmm...that would definetely be an interesting what-if. Also the "Hind" from the Rambo movies would be interesting to have.

I tend to think they actually had Hueys...

 

I've seen the scheme some where.

There is also another "Hind" in Red Scorpion, made with a higly modified Sikorsky HH-52/S-62.

This is what I would call a beast

 

In my opinion, this is the best looking fake russian chopper

No my friend, this is a beast.

 

 

I know that because it's real, it technically doesn't count.

 

Interesting thing about that Puma was that it was one of the very same Pumas from Red Dawn, sans the glasshouse. It was originally planned to fly it with attached fake glass cockpit, but the required performances in the movie exceeded it's safe flight parameters. Which is why you don't see the Hinds in Red Dawn really exert themselves.

Or how about this one:

 

 

In a nice dark grey or digital camo with added TOWs or Hellfires...it would look pretty cool.

 

The movie was cool, the series was bad. Didn't like it.
