[MOC] Blue Thunder (1983 Movie Helicopter)

[DoubleBU]

Once again I dug up something from the 80s... and once again it's something related to a movie police character called "Murphy" - Frank Murphy this time, to be precise. But although this Lego version of the Blue Thunder helicopter is in minifig scale unfortunately for Frank I wasn't able to incorporate functional cockpit doors... sorry Frank, you're stuck in there for all eternity!

I hope you like my take on the iconic Blue Thunder from the 1983 movie. If you like it and you're up for a bit of a challenge you can find the free instructions here & some more pics here.

 

Thanks & may the Gods have mercy upon poor old trapped Frank's soul...

Cool build. Waiting for helicopters from "AirWolf" and "Black shark".

Good idea! I'm not familiar with Black Shark but I was indeed thinking about tackling Airwolf next. However, a quick Google search revealed that there are already quite a few Airwolf MOCs out there and with a much better design I could ever come up with, so I think I'll spare myself the humiliation and pass on that one...

But thanks for the input.
