U.S. OH-6A Cayuse (Loach) Helicopter with three Figures & Terrain Stand

First Legion is extremely pleased to present he OH-6A Cayuse.  Nicknamed the "Loach" (from LOH—Light Observation Helicopter), was a small, fast, and highly maneuverable helicopter used extensively by the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Designed for reconnaissance, personnel transport, and light attack missions, the OH-6A excelled in low-level flight and could operate in tight, jungle-covered terrain. Its compact size and speed made it ideal for scouting ahead of larger units, marking enemy positions, and drawing enemy fire to expose ambushes—often working in tandem with AH-1 Cobra gunships in a tactic known as "hunter-killer" teams. Despite its light armor, the OH-6A earned a reputation for toughness and played a critical role in aerial reconnaissance and special operations.

The model features three figures.  The seated rear MG Gunner has a magnet so that he can be removed or can sit in place without falling out.  The piece comes with a terrain stand and acrylic pole so it can be displayed both in the air or on the ground. 

Made from Mixed Media.

60mm Hand Painted figure for collectors from the Vietnam product range.

Due to be released in OCTOBER 2025.
