This model sat tucked away, partly built, for ages. I decided to finish it off. I used Eduards etched cockpit set but the rest is from the box. Xtra Color enamels were used to paint her. Decals are from the kit. free picture upload image hosting gif adult image image posting image ru photo hosting sites free adult image hosting posted image imageupload Thanks for looking

This is Revell's old Huey Cobra kit. It does show its age, but it is basically a sound kit with some nice details. It has a mixture of raised and recessed panel lines with some neat riveting and panel fasteners. I engraved the panel lines that needed doing, trying to preserve the rivet and fasteners. I also added some aftermarket parts. Cobra Company's excellent resin cockpit is a work of art, replacing the kits parts and including a lovely gun turret. To the turret I added a brass Gatling gun barrel and to show off the cockpit I replaced the kit's canopy with a vac formed one from Werner Wings. The cockpit set does not include replacement cyclic or collectives so I used a combination of up detailed kit parts and some bits from the spare box. Airscale decals were used to detail the instrument panels. I used a combination of Humbrol enamels and Tamiya acrylics to paint the model. To weather the model I used techniques I usually employ on armour models, washes and filters, to impart a faded, weather worn look. I intended to use the kit's decals but they broke up on contact with water, so at the last minute I got a set of decals from Fireball Model Works. I can recommend these decals; they are really top quality and include stencil data. The Helicopter I have modelled is famous for flying the longest mission for a Cobra during the Vietnam War. how to do a screenshot on a pc upload image online image free hosting post a picture img free image host upload pics image upload no limit post img Thanks for looking
