rotorwash Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ray, do you have some neat photos of the Avionics bay between the chin bubbles? Would love to see all the wires and cables, and the devices... Thanks my friend. Rod. Hmm, I think I might be able to help with that! These are from a UH-1V at Flatiron at Ft. Rucker in 2010 and a AAHF UH-1H in 2007. HTH. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Excellent, those are the one.... Great pics, thank you Ray. Well, seeing how difficult it will be making all those pieces, and my model wont have the compartment open( like Oliver´s super Huey), i think it will not be visible so ive decided to leave it like that.

salvador001 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the pics Ray, as always youre the man! Heres a little test fitting update, i glued the halves, filled and sanded the floor, and added some details like the green house framing and chin bubbles made from thin styrene, cabin B pillars made from styrene, roof flat antenna,skid steps, etc... Ive primed zinc chromate the interior for future weathering. Hope you guys like it. Rod. Edited November 7, 2014 by salvador001 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Thank you guys, i really appreciate. Heres another update, i installed the toilet bowl, perfect fitting that required small amount of filling, as always Fireball Modelworks products are top notch, i glued the PE particle separator, i made the mount for the FM antenna in the vertical fin close to the 90 tail rotor gearbox, installed the chin bubbles, on man, this pieces are crap, they dont fit well and requiered a lot of sanding and pressure when gluing with CA; take a look at the huge gaps of the cowling, terrible, but ill figure it out how to hide them, the whole piece dont fit right, well, the whole model LOL. Thanks for watching. Rod. Edited November 13, 2014 by salvador001 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 HI That gap is incredible.. easy fix though. Nice work on the bowl. Is your fuselage glued together yet? if so you may have a little difficult time to inset interior cockpit parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you guys. Heres another update. I made the pilot seat all scratch using styrene stretch sprue, milliput and PE seatbelts, the IP is PE from the CMK kit that i modify it and added some wiring. The interior walls and b pillars are made from styrene and PE. I just want to finish this one, its a crap of a kit. Hope everyone likes it. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Nice job so far. I'd love to see what you could to a 1/35 scale model! You know, maybe like a UH-60?????????? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Nice work. Too bad that kit sucks so much. Do you hear us modeling gods, a new tool UH-1D/H NOW,please! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you guys for your kind words. Tim, i have the Academy 1/35 UH-60L in the stash, this will come next year. I agree what Ray says, this kit is crap, and we urgently need a new tool UH-1D/H in 1/48 and 1/35, with ALL the issues corrected and fine pieces according to scale.
