0viking0 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 This is one of the worst kits I have ever done. Nothing fits together nicely. I complicated it even more with CMK resin sets for engine and interior. Those are nice sets, but still incorrect and some major surgery is required to fit them into the kit parts. I am relatively happy with the final result, but there are many things that could be improved. Enjoy You can find WIP here: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=259932 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If you hadn't told, I wouldn't have known! And even with your comments about the kit's imperfections, to me the finished model looks like a bona fide Huey!!! And a great one at that! Congrats!

Luftwaffe Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It looks stunning. The little scene you put up brings up so much atmosphere. Especially the muddy gras looks nice. One can see how much commitment you put in this model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 That is a real work of art, showing no signs of a troublesome build, it looks like a Tamya kit! (As an aside, if you haven't ever read 'Chickenhawk' by Robert Mason I thoroghly reccommend it. It's about flying Hueys in Vietnam and is one of my all time favourite books).

Spitfire31 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The Huey looks excellent and the figures help create an evoctive scene. Full marks! Incidentally, do heed Viking's advice and read Robert Mason's Chickenhawk. It's one of the best, if not the best, biographical books on war in general and flying Hueys in particular, that I've ever read (and re-read).
