HH-3F Pelican - Revell


Recommended Posts

OK - yes I should have gone for a Whirlybird one, and that's still an option, but this was in the stash so...………….

 

I'm only an average modeller, so don't expect any masterclass !

Intend using the 'old' Airfix Sea King head so some bits of that cut into top. Rivets going as they are far too obvious and it'll sit in a row of smooth new Airfix Sea Kings anyway

Bit of internal work - door will be open so....

Bit more progress - masking off. Side windows didn't come out well so removed for polishing, and the port fwd was enlarged as realized it IS bigger

Been a bit busy to do much lately - added a few decals, These are a mix of ( mostly ) homemade and a small sheet I got of the internet

I am currently building a HH-3E as a USAF SAR bird.

 

You have done a lot of work to this kit to get it this far. Nice work.

 

I have another to do as a Coast Guard Pelican, I have the fortune of having a resin conversion set and decals for mine.

Hi JagRigger,

your build is fantastic! I never thought you'd get that result, having seen what you started with.

I love the way you casually state that you are removing the windows to polish them... That gave me the shivers to think such a thought may ever cross my mind!

Not a chance!

 

Will be watching the end of the thread!

Well done.

OK - been away for a while, so back doing a bit. I've refitted the winch that I made and knocked off earlier, and made a bifilar for the rotor hub. Don't think I've ever seen one in a kit - this is a bit of the Revell hub and sprue on the Airfix rotor set
