UH-1D HUEY GUNSHIP GROUP BUILD

[TimM63]

It looks acceptable considering it's an inferior kit and I seriously lost my patience with it.
Next one will be Moe Betta.

 

[Down Time]

Getting some decals on. I'm in the home stretch. This build will be done today.

Looks P.F.G.

 

[TimM63]

Thanks guys. Certainly not my best work.

It's Revell, it will do anything to spite you.

 

[TimM63]

I'm calling this one done. This kit was one that built me. Definitely worked on my patience. I did order the Italeri kit so we will see how that one goes.

 

[Down Time]

I reiterate; P.F.G.

Thank you good sir

 

[Down Time]

Thank you good sir

You're welcome, it wasn't easy. Gee I love Revell

So I have the base colours done ready for final assembly and touching in before I gloss the lot.

Still not over happy with the front seam but this has yet to be blacked out so think more filing and sanding required. Pantherman

Looks good so far. Making me want to build one. Last time I built a huey I was about 10, and it was a horrendous job I did.

Everything is now built, I am keeping the top rotors off until the Everything else is done.

Gloss coat on so now ready for decals tomorrow and a few little bits of paintwork to touch in.

Started painting the front canopy and I will keep the rest of the windows covered in mask until after I spray the final gloss coat. Pantherman

Just a heads up, do the decals behind the back doors if you are going to fit them open. I will wait until I clean the windows of mask to see how much you can see of the bodywork. Might have to remove the doors to fit the decals but hopefully not. Pantherman

Decals done, final gloss coat done so just a bit of cleaning up to do, fit the remaining clear part's and fit the main rotors. Pantherman
