TRUe Heroes CH-46 Helicopter mods and questions.

I got this(or one close to it, not sure if its' the same color):

not my pic, I'll replace it w/ mine when I dig it out.


I was wondering if any of you hardcore military folk know of a site where I can get the proper dimensions so I can try to convert this closer to 1:18th scale.

I know, it won't be perfect, my main plan is to see if I can get a piece of PVC pipe the same size around and then lengthen the fuselage.

Anyone know of a good website that had specs on how long the fuselage is, how big the ramp is, how high the inside is, the width of the insides, etc?

At 1:18th scale:
29.88" L
4.8" W
11.1" H

Not including rotors, ramp, etc. Just base length, width, and height.

I'm sure you could find a Boeing site that would have more specifications.

Awesome and thanks, I'll start doing some boeing searching. Do you think that length is the upper area as it's on a slant, for the door/ramp.

Found this:

Some of this really helps though, thanks again.

Probably total length minus rotors. Find out the degree of the slanted rear and you should be able to estimate the size of the ramp based on the height of the fuselage.

If you pick up a second one you can do this.

I was thinking about that, maybe I'll take a trip to TRU and see if they still have them, they're on sale too this week buy one get one 50% off.
