M18 Hellcat Instruction designed by Passierebos: www.camo-bricks.com/product-page/m18-hellcat-instruction
I figured that with my out dated design and the poor quality of my previous post, it was about time for a new Huey post.
In 1952 the United States Army put out a requirement for a new helicopter that could perform a variety of roles, mainly medivac. On October 20, 1956 Bell presented its prototype to the Army. The “Hueys”, as they were nicknamed by the servicemen, were immediately pressed into service in the form of the UH-1A. The Huey came to fame during the Vietnam War, first being deployed there in 1962. By the end of the conflict, ~7,000 Hueys were deployed. They performed a variety of tasks. Troop transport, medivac, gunships, cargo transports, reconnaissance, etc. A total of 16,000 Hueys have been built since 1960. The airframe is still in service in the civilian sector and still in service with the U.S. Military in the form of the UH-1Y Venom “Yankee”. The Hueys also share their power plant with their cousins, the Bell AH-1 attack helicopters. There were 5,435 UH-1Hs built. The H and D models were more numerous than the short-body As and Bs.
Basic Specifications:
Crew: 1-4
Capacity: 14 troops or 6 stretchers or 3,880 lbs (1,760 kg) of cargo
Length: 57ft 1in
Width: 8ft 7in
Height: 14ft 5in
Main Rotor Diameter: 48ft
Empty Weight: 5,215 lbs (2,365 kg)
Power Plant: Lycoming T53-L-13 Turboshaft engine (1,400 shp)
Max Speed: 135 mph (220 km/h)
Range: 315 miles (510 km)
The model is a little over 1/35 scale. Both rotors spin, all doors can open, there are mounting places for two @brickarms M60s on either side, and the top of the fuselage can be removed for easy access to the cabin and cockpit. It is important to note that the nose and the genius design for the sliding doors are based off of Dan Siskand’s Brickmania model. I also incorporated the @brickdesigners tail. And the stickers came from the @brickmaniatoys Huey Sticker Pack. The soldiers were made using the Brickmania Hue Marines Sticker Pack.
Following on from this, I've added the top camo area. I love cheese slopes :)
Three things remain to be resolved.
1) I'm trying to figure out how to do the HMG/Four TOW missile turret, similar to the the XM1219. Dave Luna's prototype looks like a good starting point, although I think the smoke grenade launchers were a bit much. I dig the little sensor ball, though.
2) I'd like to do something at the front, possible a forward sensor pod. I'm tempted to hang an inverted helmet from Chandler's rendition of the FRC Grunt, and use a trans-clear round tile instead of trans-red. However, this might result in a series of jokes regarding FRC heads - is this idea too hokey?
3) Most importantly, the wheel arms. Chandler and Mike have some uncertainly regarding the ability of my present design (above) to support the combined mass of the vehicle and any internal cargo. I've included an exploded version of the current wheel arm design for your reference, boys.
It's very important that the wheel arms are posable as I imagine the MULE climbing up shallow outdoor steps in support of friendly infantry.
Comments and ideas welcome as usual.

The Type 99 A2 MBT is an improved version of the Type 99 MBT designed and manufactured in China by the local defense industry. Main armament of the Type 99A2 consists of one 125mm smoothbore gun with a thermal sleeve and fume extractor. The turret is fitted with a carousel automatic loader located below the turret. Smoke grenade dischargers are fitted on each side at the front of the turret. The design of the Type 99A2 is very similar to Russian main battle tanks with the driver's compartment at the front, fighting compartment and turret in the centre and power pack at the rear. The hull and turret are of all-welded steel armour. The tank has also an improved composite armor over the front of the hull and turret to provide a higher level of protection against anti-tank guided missiles and rockets. It has a new Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) able to defeat new generation of tandem warhead of anti-tank missiles which is mounted at the front and along the sides of the turret. The same ERA armour is fitted at the front of the hull. There is a storage basket at the rear of the turret. The Type 99A2 is motorized with a 150HB turbo-charged diesel engine developing 1,500 hp. Standard equipment of the Type 99A2 includes an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection system, fire detection and suppression system, global positioning system and snorkel for deep fording. The Type 99A2 MBT is fitted with the 1A45T Fire Control System, A JD-3 infra-red jammer is mounted at the base of the top of the barrel to jam Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) such as the Western HOT, TOW and MILAN. A laser jamming device is mounted on the turret roof.
The M1A2C Abrams TUSK2 is a modernized version of the M1A2 SEPV v2 main battle tank which benefits from a number of upgrades in the areas of survivability, maintainability, full efficiency and network capability. This improvement in lethality for the Abrams M1A2C TUSK2 derives from the combination of developmental upgrades and the addition of mature technologies that include the Ammunition DataLink (ADL), improved 120mm ammunition, Improved Forward-Looking Infrared (IFLIR) and the low-profile (LP) Common Remotely Operated Weapon System (CROWS). The main armament of M1A2 SEP V3 includes one 120 mm smoothbore M256 cannon. A smoke screen can also be laid by an engine operated system. The M1A2 SEP V3 will be able to fire the M829E4 (soon to be type-classified as the M829A4) fifth-generation kinetic-energy anti-tank (AT) round. This new round provides heavy-armor defeat capability at extended ranges. It uses a depleted-uranium penetrator and anti-armor design advancements to defeat threat targets equipped with AERA (Advanced Explosive Reactive Armor) and APS (Active Protection Systems). The advanced multi-purpose (AMP) round is a line-of-sight munition with three modes of operation: point detonate, delay and airburst.The M1A2C TUSK2 is equipped with a new improved entire IED capability electronic warfare build on the vehicle. This tank will be fitted with (IFLIR) Improved Forward-Looking Infrared to identify a target.

The AH-64E features improved digital connectivity, the JTIDS, more powerful T700-GE-701D engines with upgraded face gear transmission to accommodate more power, capability to control UAVs, full IFR capability, and improved landinggear. New composite rotor blades, which successfully completed testing in 2004, increase cruise speed, climb rate, and payload capacity.
