gregax Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Good day! Here is my latest work, Kittyhawk's UH-1D Huey in 1/48 scale. The model itself is not as good as Tamiya or Edurad, but it is by far the best one in 1/48th scale. I had some minor problems during the assembly, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. The major drawback are the instructions, so keep that in mind if you want to build one. Referneces and photos are crucial with this build. I have to thank mr. Floyd Werner for all the provided photos and information. Without them, I would be lost. Enough talking, enjoy the pics. Model: Kitty Hawk 1/48 UH-1D Huey Extras: Eduard 49861 - interior Eduard Fe862 - seatbelts Eduard EX564 - masks Eduard 49022 - Ammo boxes Paints used: MRP Weathering: Ammo Mig products. Some historical photos. Note the interior green door and aeleron. Same helicopter at the beginning of the tour. Side doors were still installed. But they have been removed later on during the tour.

Michael A. Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Damn nice looking job! You have successfully captured the look of the late war (circa 71) Army Helicopter in Southeast Asia. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
