Dermo245 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Hi all and I'm in with this one, to be built as a troop 'Slick' version. This GB needs choppers! Hopefully I can do a decent job with it. Cheers, Dermot Edited December 29, 2015 by Dermo245 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Good to see another Huey (thought there would be a few more). Looking forward this. I agree, more choppers the better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Great seeing this one in the build. I would enter mine except for the helo GB I signed up for and might want to build a Huey for that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Just picked up this kit last month and found some M60 door guns and mounts for it on evilbay. Will watch this to see how she goes together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 So some box content shots for anyone who's interested... Am liking the internal cabin detail...on the ceiling... And floor... Engine parts.... And fuselage close up - I might try and replace the mesh with something see through to show off what's in there...

murfv Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 When ever I see a UH-1 I always think of Apocalypse Now! Looking forward to see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm1did1 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Was tempted by the very same kit a few days back having built the B when it was fairly new (22yrs since first release...I feel old). Unfortunately the Tunnan won...so still no helo. I forget the options - do you have rear box shot that shows them as my memory is terrible and Google et al are being rather secretive (i do tend to like Italeris, and the similar new Airfix boxes, although not always the box contents - looking at you DH88!)

Thanks and here's some more pics of the box....the back... And special German anniversary scheme.... Finished build as per the box side....

dpm1did1 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 A Luftwaffe Huey...not too often seen. Think an Italian scheme would have to be reserved for a AB205 though. Be nice to see the finish build as the US helo builds do seem so Blackhawk and Osprey crazy (despite Italeri efforts to mix it up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 How is the build going Dermot? Got some sub-assemblies all done and painted, just need to post some pics! Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 My apologies to Snapper_City, Radleigh and Procopius - just wasn't able to finish the Huey over the Christmas holidays. We're moving house in January for a few months to allow for house renovations so my spare time has been taken up with that. Thanks for what was a great GB and I'll finish the Huey in 2016! All the best, Dermot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not a problem Dermot. I didn't finish either. Hope the house move goes well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
