yardbird78 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 YEs, that is definitely different. Where did you get the VNAF decals. I would like to do a VNAF H-19, but I cannot find the VNAF markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to do a VNAF H-19, but I cannot find the VNAF markings. VNAF decals are scarce, in this case I got mine from a friend who is good at computer making his own. The Monogram 180 kit is so simple that I think I could build it in 1hr but since I have to convert it into 185, it's gonna take me a while. The 185 version has 3 windows so first task is to draw the 3rd one on each side Next is the engine cowling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Considering the kits age, it looks good. A smorgasbord for super-detailers, no doubt. Have you added any kind of interior? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, I don't let my imagination run wild! I added PE seatbelts (stole them from Gallery 1/48 UH-34 Heli kit) though. Since the kit spinner is too rounded, I modified a rocket pod cover (taken from Tamiya 1/48 Skyraider weapon set) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
