Revell 1/32 UH-1D questions


ReccePhreak

Recommended Posts

I am currently working on 2 Revell 1/32 UH-1D kits (1 gunship, 1 slick), and had some questions about the "ceiling" in the rear cabin. The kit has 3 large rectangular recesses in the rear and 4 small "squarish" recesses in the front. I have been unable to find any pics during google searches showing those features. Are they accurate, and if so, what are they? What color(s) would they be? Same questions for the front recesses. 

TIA for any help on this matter. Both Hueys will be finished in Thai markings (If I ever manage to finish them). I put in a request to Revell for a replacement landing skid, as one of my kits has a terribly warped one.

Some of the recesses are for air conditioning vents(a standard US military vents found on every aircraft of that period)

Some are for comm.lines dangling from the ceiling(for earphones) and there were sockets for equipment like hoist,although Ds had mostly outer one,above the right front part of cargo compt

Here are some more pics

Here you can see the vent(not a standard installation,and the standard US mil flashlights)

Some of the recesses were also used for cargo hold straps or metal rods for stretchers

Here you can see the ceiling without the sounproof blanket,you see the cabin light,comm.lines,a comm.control box/panel

and metal rods' anchoring points

Thanks Jari, I had seen that pic when I searched on Primeportal. You're right about the angle of the shot.

I do see that I better not fill the holes in the floor as planned, as they are the locations for attaching the seats, when installed.

Thanks Isaac for the links. I had done a search of Primeportal, but will go back and search some more for details. 

Glad i am not building all the equipment under the soundproof padding.

Yep, there are tie-down points all over the floor of the Huey.
