artoor_k Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 After Grumman F3F-3 it's time for another shelf queen - but not airplane. Another oldie but again, this kit surprisingly aged as well as F3F (or better)... Monogram 1/24 Huey is also a big one. There are some signs of aged forms but easy to remove. So let's start... This thing is a must-have in Vietnam Huey I've removed molded-on seatbelts and made a new ones from aluminium foil and spare buckles. Seat cushions are made of Mr.Surfacer stubbed with stiff brush.

artoor_k Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Some work today... Surfboard after decals. Little tribute to lt Kilgore hat New troop seat mad with styrene profiles, toothpicks and yoghurt foil Seatbels also made of aluminium foil and spare 1/24 buckles. Instrument panel. I've cut out larger instruments from decal, placed them on styrene squares and glued to kit part. Not best but better than flat decal. Instrument panel from behind. I wasn't sure if it can be seen trough front down glasses but...well...just in case Exhaust pipe was empty. I've done sth simmilar to what I saw on walkaround photos.

artoor_k Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Fighting with flash on almost every rotor part Funny thing-I was thinking for few hours how to seal a gap between floor and fuselage in troop compartment. When I was checking ceiling and saw the same gap I started to think more intensively Well , if I'll seal these gaps then I won't be able to open doors because this gap is door rail To be serious...it looks awful and maybe I'll be able to make it shallower... Today I found wire net so I removed kit part and used it in vents in fuselage. Lothar, rafju and Landrotten Highlander 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artoor_k Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 It's probably too green/too light/too brown/too olive but it'll stay like that Derek B, Landrotten Highlander, Lothar and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
