HL-10 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I managed to get hold of Revell's golden oldie, the Huey UH-1D As it was the "attack variant" it did not have the crew seating and I wanted to build it as a troop transport so I scratch built the seats with plastic rod & masking tape, I also scratch built the pilot's armoured seats from more rod & plastic card. Some more internal detail was added using plastic card, and i opened up the engine grills and placed etched mesh in the openings. After market was used for the seat belts, from Eduard, and for the instrument dials, from Airscale. Various bits were salvaged out of the spare's box, such as the M-60 machine guns and the decals. I used Tamiya acrylics, and Humbrol enamels to paint the Slick. Thanks for looking Angelo MikeC, aircare84, Aerobat and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Great job! "Playboy"...wasn't that the name of the Huey in Apocolypse Now? Only thing I would add to the well worn look is some of that Vietnam red dirt around the skids. Cheers...Ron HL-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
