    Good job, a bit undersized but I like the overall appearance. My brother in law was a sensor maintainer with the 16th SOS at Hurlburt Field working with the H and U models. I got to tour one when I was 16, and still have 2 20mm shells, a 40mm shell, and a 105mm shell from an H model operational mission over Mogadishu given to me by him. One day I'll get around to building an H model in my usual scale!

    For sliding doors you can try to incorporate the method I used on my UH-1 series, UH-1D, UH-1B, UH-1C, and UH-1N. I used a "plate 1x2 with slide" on the bottom rear of the door, and the fuselage uses "brick 1x2 with groove" stacked and rotated 90 degrees, and angled to form the sides of the fuselage. The plate slider travels along the groove to allow the door to slide. I used two rows to replicate the appearance of those on the real aircraft, but only the bottom groove is functional. You have to be creative and use a lot of SNOT techniques, but it works.

    Capt. Steve Ritchie and Capt . Chuck DeBellevue were 2 of only 5 aircrew in the Vietnam War to have attained the title of "Ace", having scored 5 kills in that conflict in air to air combat. Ritchie retired from the reserves in 1999 as a Brig. General. DeBellevue remained on active duty until 1998, retiring as a Colonel and the last actively serving "Ace". The Collings Foundation preserve and fly a retired F-4D Phantom II at numerous air shows yearly painted in the markings of Ritchie and DeBellevue's MiG Killer aircraft 67-0463. To date it is the only privately-owned and flyable F-4 Phantom II, and took an act of Congress to allow to be returned to flight status in private hands.

    I imagine this is something along the lines of what you meant by the aerial display teams? The 1969-1974 US Navy Blue Angels, flying the McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II. The classic 4-ship diamond passes over the airfield below as the two opposing solo aircraft prepare to make sneak passes over the crowd. The 1969-1974 US Air Force Thunderbirds, flying the McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II. Here the #5 and #6 solo aircraft perform an "opposing knife edge pass" for the crowd as the 4-ship diamond manuevers into position for their next demonstration pass. Again, being that both US teams use combat aircraft (unique among the world's display teams as all others use non-combat trainers, not counting the defunct Russian Knights Su-27s) I doubt LEGO would allow them. Still, they do make for pretty MOCs, and the Blue Angels have always had a very attractive paint scheme.

    ReBrick featured me as ReBricker Of The Week back in Feb, but wouldn't allow my SR-71A. They did allow my A-12 "Oxcart", the CIA precursor to the SR-71A since it wasn't technically military operated. They also allowed my NASA YF-4E Phantom II CCV for the same reason. None of my other military models were permitted for the article. Being thet ReBrick is a direct extension of LEGO, that should give you some insight to their limits. So maybe an early CIA U-2, or NASA TR-1. The NASA Phantom squeeked by, I doubt most of their other borrowed combat aircraft would pass muster. The Phantom did because of the nature of its modifications and test regimen (decoupled flight controls, advanced canard controls, extreme angle of attack, etc), none of which was strictly military in application possibilities.

    Both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels fly fully combat-capable aircraft, although the modifications made for performances take between 6-12 hours to remove/convert. Also, every maneuver they perform is taught to all fighter pilots, it's just the "prettying up" of all these actions into one show that makes them seem special. Being that the aircraft they fly are frontline combat aircraft (Lockheed Martin F-16C Block 50 for the Thunderbirds and McDonnell Douglas/Boeing F/A-18C Hornet for the Blue Angels) I think the "no military" clause would kick in yet again, paint schemes notwithstanding. Perhaps one of the other air teams that fly non-combat trainers, like the Snowbirds or the Italian air team, or a private team like Red Bull or the Starfighters (flying retired combat aircraft) might be acceptable. That being said, I will point out that the new Creator set "Blue Power Jet" is a VERY thinly veiled Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II JSF. The lack of visible weapons is moot as the JSF is designed to primarily carry its warload internally to remain stealthy. It even features the lift fan of the F-35B.

    The only part that might have any issue is the skid struts, but I did design them to have flex tube inside for reinforcement. The rest is built solidly for ample swooshing. Glad everyone likes these, please look at my other creations, they're on par with my Cobras. I also post new creations to Flickr fairly regularly.

    Yes that is Cowboy in the Bell H-13H, and the post above yours explained the reasoning for including Trapper.

    Took a little artistic license with that. The entire goal of the project was to have something that could possibly go on LEGO Ideas, so I was trying to keep a whole host of factors in mind including playability, marketability, recognition, price point, etc. The only thing keeping me from listing it so far is even though it is based on one of the most beloved TV shows world wide it's still TECHNICALLY what LEGO would consider "military", regardless of the medical nature of the subject. They tend to be very strict about that, and I don't think they would bend the rules, even for M*A*S*H. They also would have issues with the still (a major component of the SWAMP interior) as any alcohol referrences are also verboten, even moonshine.

    Wouldn't be able to have him drive the jeep without bendable legs.
