Oh, and it is a pleasure to build. I can't wait for the UH-1N to be released. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonlanceHR Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The rotor blades (the whole sprue) are from their D kit. If you have the Italeri D, it has in fact the N blades so you can mix and match. Way to go, Kitty Hawk, boosting the sales for competitors. Vedran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I wonder why Reality only went with a detailed main rotor hub and no blades as the blades for the D are incorrect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've no idea what you've just done to my blood pressure there Sir! I think I need a lie down in a darkened room now In other Huey news there's a float conversion set in 48th according to Scalemates https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hamilton-hobbies-au-raaf-army-uh-1h-float-conversion-limited-edition--1268261 I have tried contacting the company about availability but have, to date received no answer, by e-mail and FB. Hopefully someone knows more about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Ryan's doing kits as he gets to that project for his own use. At the moment he's producing: 1/72 RAAF AP-3C Orion 'ELINT' conversion - $20 1/48 RAAF UH-1B Conversion - $25 1/48 BAE Hawk 127 Update Set - $25 1/48 Wessex HAS31B Update set - $30 Prices don't include postage and he's in Australia. I have the top three on the way via the notoriously-unreliable Australia Post Wouldn't mind a float-equipped UH-1H, though. I tried to form on one many years ago (our aircraft didn't have floats) but my skills were pretty poor at the time!

k5054nz Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It would've been nice to get some accurate N main blades - that really disappointed me when I found out. Would it be possible to do them in resin, with some sort of spar to avoid excess droopage over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It does look like a lovely set but for the price they're asking I'd want to see the actual grease stains and leftover sandwiches from the maintenance crew - in scale - since I could probably bag an extra two kits for the money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
