stulad Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I wish I could recommend this kit but it's been a struggle! Much of it my own doing by leaving it in the attic to cook and chill for over a decade so every large part was warped. The kit is their UH-1B with some additional UH-1C parts but I've made it as a UH-1B as the engine covers appear to be from that version. No rockets or guns as apparently they don't go together well and my patience had been tested enough already. But it was educational as it's the 2nd kit I've built since I was a kid and I've learned a bit about filling and sanding. Onto a recent Eduard Spitfire that should go together somewhat better! Thanks to paulsbrown for the model and a lot of advice. Edited January 29, 2021 by stulad Pictures not showing 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulad Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Thanks - there is a kind of perverse satisfaction in getting it together. It was a frustrating build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 You are better than me as I would have thrown the godforsaken thing against the wall at the first sign of trouble. Instead, you have shared an award winner with us. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 A fine UH1B, for only your second build and the problems you faced it makes the end product even better, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 No signs of the struggle there, especially good fitting around the windshield and chin bubbles which are always a problem fit with Hueys. Great job for just your second build though 👏👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
