KH 1/48 D/H Huey rotor head issues
salvador001 replied to midnightprowler's topic in Helicopter Modeling
I am so sorry about your loss Chris. May God be with her. Rod. -
If you are not that rivet counter modeller, you can build it OOB just changing the tail stab for the academy one. If you decide to leave the pilots doors closed nobody will notice the center console is wrong. Rod.

Looks awesome Dave. Do the chaff/flare buckets comes with the kit? Ive noticed also that the kit comes with some raised detail on the fuselage to install the NV formation lights, some missile sensors and other modern bits, i understand the kit comes with different eras for the November, the old ones didnt have all this modern bits so we will have to remove all this and lose the surface detail thats ridiculous for me.

WIP UH-1H Huey Gunship 1/48 Kitty Hawk!
salvador001 replied to salvador001's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Been a long time since i dont update this thread, so here it is, i finished it a couple of days ago. Turned out really good, this is my third KH Huey and i love it. Had to scratch build the armament pylons and lots of modifications to the rotors. Hope you all enjoy and thank you for your support. Rod. -
Sadly No! From what i see on Florys review, the kit comes with two new sprues, mainly fuselage and engine parts, the rest are from the D kit, just terrible. Looks like they didnt pay much attention to detail on this one. But again, its superior than the italeri one so ill buy a couple. Rod.

Awesome start. Ill be following closely. But... are you sure its an L model? Look at the wheel sponsons, they are short A model types. Rod.

Academy 1/35th AH-1Z is absolutely amazing.....
salvador001 replied to Dave Roof's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Oh man, just take my money. And please release the UH-1Y also. Rod. -
Damn, i want it so bad. Hope they fix the MR blades, they need to add the extra fin on the trailing edge, those blades on the 3D renders looks like standard H model blades. Rod.

Chris, easy way to go is with the tamiya clear green or testors clear green acrylic. FYI, i paint my hueys with my workhorse Badger 150 double action airbrush, simply the best. Rod.

1/48 Kitty Hawk UH-1H ...90's in El Salvador
salvador001 replied to CharlieUH-1H's topic in Helicopter Modeling
You rock! This is the type of Hueys i love. Modern era with all the extra survavility equipments. Cant wait to see that bird all finished up. Rod. -
Chris, I use two paints for my Huey greenhouses. First is the testors clear green acrylic, this is a very good paint and can be sprayed straight out of the bottle, the acrylic is good because if you screw it you just clean the part and spray it again. The second paint is the tamiya clear green, this needs to be diluted with the tamiya thinner but if you dont have it you can use sherwin williams opex dual lacquer acrylic 203 thinner. I use both and they work well. I used the tamiya green with my last Huey build. Rod.

Well, since we got your fantastic Huey decals that comes with a lot of medevac versions, we only need the medevac interior, the modern rescue hoist, open and closed litters, and all the bags and medical equipment used by the medics. Can we see this set coming soon from werner wings??? I want it so bad LOL. Thanks. Rod.
