Hi all,

 

Not realy my thing helicopters.

But it will look nice next to my 1/18 Dauntless,Me-262 and FW-190.

And the Me-109 waiting for a suitable GB.

 

I know it's not the most detailed or accurate model.

But I like it.

And it's BIG !

The kit arrived today.

 

First impression.It's big.

Detail ? Very poor.

But that never stopped me from building a kit.

I shall be happy when it looks like a Huey in the end.

Hi Erwin,

 

The kit may be simple and not have much interior detail but, hopefully, it will be a relatively stress-free and enjoyable build for you.   Can't wait to see your work.

 

Cheers,

The clear parts have to be fixed inside  before joining the body halves.

So I painted the doors and frames instead of having to mask the clear parts.

The cockpit is  some minor painting.

The gray is unpainted plastic.Just the controls and seats are painted.

Not an easy part of the build.

No room for error or dryfitting as the halves click together.

Get it wrong and it needs to be seperated by force.

Some gabs to be filled and sanded.

The front clear part goes in after painting.

Hi all,

 

Bigger model doens't mean longer building time.

This has nearly no inner detail to worry about.

I only added the US-markings and tail rotor warning.

This was a fun and no-stress build.

I hope HB does more of the big kits.

The P-40 is on my list.

 

My next big one is the 1/18 Me 109E for a GB on Britmodeller.

But I shall also post it on LSP.

 

I call this a "museum" Huey
