Ian Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 G*d how I remember that Revell Huey - built it in 1979, together with the gunship version... Ughhh, even back then when I was (sweet) 16 I knew it was something quite horrible !. Best of luck Brendan, dont let it beat you Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I've made a few 1:72 Hueys so I'm watching with interest as to how a larger scale compares (bigger, obviously). Nice work so far Brendan Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck Brendan, dont let it beat you Ian Hi Ian Thanks for the encouragement, I put it on the back burner for the last couple of weeks but I am now determined to get at least one of them finished this weekend. I've made a few 1:72 Hueys so I'm watching with interest as to how a larger scale compares (bigger, obviously).Nice work so far Brendan Deacon Hi Deacon Thanks I would not recommend this kit, but in 1/35 scale I can highly recommend Academy's or Dragon's Huey kit's. Thanks Gents Brenden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallicus Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 On the home stretch now . Thought they would not make it but they will get in just in time! Just a few minor things to do. Will post the final pics in the Completed section. Thanks to everyone for the comments and support during this build! Trust me it was those comments that help me finish these and not give them a one way ticket to the bin! As always thanks for looking!
