rotorwash Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The scratch work on the medical gear is incredible! Nice Huey you got going. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hueyrob Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hey Georg... hier jetzt mal auf englisch ;-): Is that right with the roof issue? I counted 3 spotlights? Cheers, ROB P.S. The material wust just wonderful!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kutscha Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hey guys an moinsens Robert. Yes, the 3 headlights are correct. Or are they only 3 in a NDV version? Hm, if you got me there? I am súcceding in very small steps due to a incredible lack of time. I managed to join the fusaelage halfes (wow) and started trying to detail the poor dragon kits rotorhead. I used evrgreens and archer rivets. The little bit I managed to proceed is as follows... Hope you all stay with my slowmo.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camophilip Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Nice work. I see that the instrument board is black in your Huey. Did it come that way? Mine is gray... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi It appears that there is a lot of mast work on Hueys going around lately..... NIce details so far. Your interior is really beautiful. Feels like I am looking at the real thing. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feels like I am looking at the real thing. Oliver Awesome detailing with the medical equipment! Medevac helicopters always make a great break from the norm in modelling especially with all the extra medical equipment that adds to the detail in the cabin etc. Dan.

Hueyrob Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Nice work. I see that the instrument board is black in your Huey. Did it come that way? Mine is gray... Hi... All German UH-1D instrument panels are black.... Only the 4 pre-production ones wer fitted with grey dashboards. They have also been painted black after some weeks. @ kutscha: Only 2 spotlights! Keep up the good work! Cheers, ROB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kutscha Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hmpf, damn. Then I mixed it up with the FSM one... THX Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avus Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Another Huey that proceeds splendidly! Great work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kutscha Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yes I know: proceeding slow,slower, Kutscha.... But proceeding :-) I joined the fuselage halfes and aded some (little) details not contained in the Dragon´s kit: -The Winchman Radio Antenna beneath the belly on the RH side below the sliding doors -the ADF homer -the windshield wipers upper stop -the WPS bars on the front edges (also used as handles to clmb on the roof) - the roof mounting of the rotor brake showing up on the top behind the air vents - the sliding door stops at the aft parsof the fuselage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avus Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Rome wasn't built in a day ... and neither great models! Neat work on the antennae. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kutscha Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 oops, I just realised that the upper cable cutter is bend to the side... good luck its PE so I can fix it easily..... sorry for posting such a mishap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi Nice work. I agree with Klaus it takes time to build a good model. Yours is turning out really nice. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi Georg Brilliant workmanship! I am so glad you added the extra details to the exterior, it makes a huge difference. I am amazed also that when I post photos of something I have done.........I too often spot a mistake or something that needs fixing or adjusting. Seems to be quite normal..............dont know why. Cheers Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kutscha Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Believe it or not, I managed to get some paint on that bird :-) I had some work covering the glass surfaces with colorstop, especkially the pilot doors windows. the clear parts are to retracted from the outside and have a bad fit. I think I´ll have to scratch some windows and replace them. Bad OOB-parts. The color-scheme looks a little dark on the pics but actually the german hueys are quite dark painted. the two greens don´t differ too much from each other. I used a mixture of tamiyas colors 90%xf-1 and 10% german grey xf-63 for the blackgrey parts an as a base color. xf-13 nato green for the u.s. fs 32079 green tone and a mixture of appr. 95% xf-58 with 5% xf-4 yellow green for the brighter forest green. Fits pretty goog with the original ones colors. The bright frame inside the front6 shield ist actually there. It belongs to the sealing of the front shield and is that much visible in reality too. Again I realised some parts I didn´t add before painting (where do I have my mind?) - the taillight, the IFF 2nd antenna and the fluy valve on the tailboom as well as the tie down hooks on the belly as well as the lower cable cutter. ;) ....will be continued...

kutscha Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hey guys, thx a lot. I installed the hoist and the backpack today as well as doing some stuff on the blades. The kit had the old metal blades so I had to reshape the tip as on the GFK blades today hope u still like it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Ok that rocks. Look at this beauty!!!! Another stunning build on ARC. Great looking Huey. I love all the details inside. You got my vote. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kutscha Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 thx, nice to read you like it. But I have to admid I´could have been taken more care on the gaps, filling nd sanding. that isn´t quite in relation to the interior... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 You know I am going to have to agree with you on that one. it still is a good looking build. I guess you know what to work on your next project. Oliver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avus Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I like what I see! There might be some flaws but in my judgement they don't affect the overall look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camophilip Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Nice work! But the cable cutter seems to be a little too far back. Or am I wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
