salvador001 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks Ray and Chuck! Chuck, yes, Revell will release this year their UH-72A, but with the standard configuration, not the medevac. BTW, i will have to scratchbuild some of the medevac gear as the ones of the werner wings came all broken and bended. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Guys, does anyone have photos of the folded seats the lakota has in the back of the pilot seats? I would like to see the structure and how are they attached. Thanks. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to see the structure and how are they attached. Thanks. Rod. Rod, I made a 72 Album on Facebook that should have everything you need to build this bird form scratch. These should help with the seats. This bird was brand spanking new at Flatiron in 2009 when I photographed her. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thank you guys. Ray, i just saw it, it is a perfect walkaround, thanks a bunch. Well, how the heck am i gonna to that seat webbing? Im in deep trouble... Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi guys, Ive closed the fuselage halves and started adding the medevac gear plus the folded seats, i glued some exterior pieces too, so as some photoetch pieces. The lateral windows are made with acetate and the frame with evergreen thin sheet, the ones that comes with the kit are too bubble type and the lakota ones are a bit flat. I polarized the windshield upper section as the real one has it. I used tamiya smoke and sealed with future. Heres how im doing. Hope everyone likes it. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tgoetz Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 How did you do the seal around the side cabin windows? Really great great looking build. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anvil6 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thats coming together very nicely dude - the hooks and cables hanging from inside the cabin ceiling are a nice touch! :D -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Thank you guys. Well, the windows wer first put in place and then sealed with ca glue in the edges, then i sanded the edges and stared putting the window frames. I first cut the strips with the x acto and then started gluing them with ca glue in parts (if the strip is more thinner it will be more easily to bend in the corners) then when all was glued i sanded it with 600 sand paper and later with 1200 sand paper, then i polish it with tamiya compound and sealed it with future.

HeavyArty Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 It is looking really nice. Great job on the interior. The windows look good, but there is no raised frame around them on the actual aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I know there isnt, but i couldnt leave them without cause the seams would be visible from the thin acetate edges, although the frame is extremely thin, it is not so visible. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Ok guys, i finished the cabin seats. I spent like 3 hours to build them. The webbing was made using thin wire. Im satisfied with the result. Hope everyone likes it. Thanks. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Outstanding job on the seats! She's really looking good so far! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
