??? Detail and Scale says it's a -1, -2 and/or -8. I just have a small photo of the kind on a a/c in his Unit????? Will this help??

Does any aftermarket person make this pod?? What about kit with this store?? Need one for 1968 vintage F-105D project I'm about to start. Bo

Years ago, I sent the UH-1B DMWR for that mod to, ??? forget his name, Cobra Company and he used it to make his resin mod for the Revell kit. The inverted airfoil sync elevator was in DMWR and in Cobra's resin update. Your photo clearly shows old style elevator. ??? Beats me why, parts in stock??? Our B's did have Hotel style elevators. Mix and match. Bo

There was a Mod that put C/M tailboom and elevators on Bravo Models. We had several in my unit before we got all Mike Models.

That's it!! This kit kicked my tail!! I give up!!! Painted it twice and need to do it again!! Throwing in the towel Tried to use kit decals for circular chrome around spare tire and it's too small of a diameter or something!! Fiddled with it for an hour and could NEVER get it positioned correctly. Finally just tried to paint that chrome and did okay part way around!! Paint pen dumped bright silver all over shiny finish!! SQUAT!! Bo

Uh, ...... the SPH-4 is the same as the Mickey Mouse ears ones??? Those were really comfortable as compared to the kind you'd stick pads inside a hard shell helmet. We really liked the Mickey Mouse ears ones and thought FINALLY, the Army got some superior equipment!! Bo

Anyone ever heard of them??? Releasing their 2nd 48th scale armor kit, German half-track. What was their 1st kit??? Bo

Note the 'eye' of the shoulder harness. It's sewed using the same material as strap itself. Others used metal 'eye'. Both thread thru the needle of the lap belt and latched secured all. I flew with both kinds. Bo Demon 68

I see. The Technical Illustrator that drew this just didn't get it exactly correct; but, it's close enuff for Gov't Work, obviously. I likely knew and worked with both Illustrator and Writer that let this by. Looks like they missed location of the Shoulder Harness Inertial Reel Lock too. It was by pilot right leg. LOL!!! My years in Technical Publication taught me to be weary of any drawings. Photos are more reliable. Regardless, the fix should be easy and this kit is still the best!! Bo

Could be; however, all I ever saw looked like like this one. ????

Good shots of the seats, Ray. That's how every one I've seen looked. Thanks. And fix sould be easy. Bo

A bit more protection for pilot's torso and arm while on collective. Never saw armor that wasn't like this.

The Kitty Hawk Right Pilot's seat has inside armor plate same as left seat. It was not. Rather simple to fix but requires removal of inside armor plate and replace with one shaped like this and splayed outward at the bottom. Only those Real Huey nuts would even notice; but, if that's you, here's a picture to go-by. Bo Demon 68

Not on any US Army Huey's I flew. Bo

World wide, there were soooooo many configurations. Gotta leave something for 'After Market Guys'. The US Army needed VFR pilots so we only got a 'Tactical IFR' ticket. Had to be able to do climbing/descending turns and shoot a GCA landing. Later, after returning, Army made everyone get regular IFR rating. And, my Reserve Unit, had some of the very best Instrument Rated IP's I know of. Very fortunate to get that type of training. When I finished, took FAA check ride and Examiner gave me a 'stuck card ADF approach' to local airport. I missed RW Center line some 10 or so deg

Now this is what I remember the center bench seat looking like. Very narrow, barely wide enuff to put my, then skinny, butt on it. Recall flying back from Summer Camp with IP and other Pilot and I sit in the back on that titter/tottering seat!! So uncomfortable, I just laid down on some duffel bags awaiting my turn to fly!! Our ship's bench seats was configured just like this without guns. Bo Demon 68

Never saw such a configuration. However, this Picture has been flipped over. This is looking at Right Side of this Huey, NOT the Left side. Bo

Pretty simple fix. If ya wanna go crazy, sandwich a slice of clear rod between two Gull Grey thin sheets of plastic and glue on blade grips. If ur gonna display model with doors open, gotta make new sliding armor plate in rear position so crew can get in/out. And add T/R Pedals adjustment knob just aft of both cyclic boots. Hey, this kit is LIGHT Years ahead of any other kit out there!! Bo

Not seeing the Blade Grip Reservoir that sit on top of the Grips and was filled with oil. Bolt ran thru it and oil level was mid way on bolt. You see it on the B Model when viewed from above. Bo

Thanks all y'all. I'll be careful as this old Coot can be. Bo

Add the CLOCK to lower Rt. Inst Panel. When ya pulled the trigger with left hand, ya hit to clock with Right Hand to count ?? 30 seconds to hit 40 percent gas producer??? It's been awhile. But the Clock WAS on lower right side. EDIT: And the ash tray!! WE all smoked back then!! LOL!! Bo

Well, not perfect, but close enuff that I can fix it!! The Right inside armor piece set at an angle to the back and not just a 90 degree bend as is the left seat. Easy fix. Do wish the outside separate slide plates were separate so modeler could pose doors open and ready for pilots to egress or exit. Bo

That's because there WERE 3 separate seats. Bo

Anyone use these decals?? If so, are they any good??? Very nice looking line of markings.

Looking for Aero Master decals 48-675 and or 48-676. Prefer buying from USA or Canada. Will consider other sources depending on cost and difficulty in shipping these decals????? Thanks in advance. Bo Roberts
