You mean the 1/32 Revell, and the Monogram Uh-1B/C is a bang- up kit, even if it is alittle heavy on the panel lines and rivet details. I think I have over a dozen of this kit. You can really have a blast building and detailing this GEM. The level of the build is totally up to you. And as far as accuracy it's pretty DAMN good, hands down.Considering when this kit was made, it is notable that it is still in production and circulation.

11bee Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Guys, Saw the pic below on FB, for some reason it didn't get posted in this thread. Had a question on the troop seating. I've never seen the forward facing bench seat like that. All the pics I've seen (and all the Huey's I flew in) had this seat going all the way across the fuselage and it ties into to the vertical posts on either side along with the backrests. Is the configuration below accurate? Also, are some of the seat supports missing? Not worried about the supports if some are missing, that's an easy fix, just figured I'd ask. Correcting the bench seat will be somewhat more involved. Also, what are those PE "fins" on either side of the pitot tube? A final comment - please ask KH to consider adding separate door handles. It's pretty noticeable in this scale. Edited June 2, 2017 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We gave them refs for the complete bench seat so i am hoping there are options for it in the kit. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless, I hope they took your advice on the full width troop seat because that appears to be much more common than this rig. On another note, nice job on the PE cowling screens. Looks much better than previous kits solid plastic! That pic also gives a nice view of the quilt-less side panel. I hope someone offers that as an aftermarket set (including the warning stencils shown above). Would look nice for a Nam-era Huey. Nice view of the stock M60 setup as well. Any idea of KH is going to provide the ammo feed chutes shown above? Edited June 2, 2017 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotorwash Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 26 minutes ago, huey_crew_chief said: OK, here's something we have all been waiting for, a look inside this baby. These are from the newest buildup of the kit and Glen has given me permission to post them here for you guys. I confess I am breathing a sigh of relief on several things. First, there are seatbelts! Second, the instrument panel looks pretty nice and appears to be the correct UH-1D/H layout. Third, the instrument panel has the correct asymmetrical position with the panel more to the right side. One feature i am very happy to see is the duct work for the air handling system under the instrument panel. Also, if you look closely you can see the holes in the cabin floor for the extended bench seat's legs so i am assuming that is in the kit. The B pillar looks pretty good as well. I believe there is a map case behind the center console, but the all black paint makes that difficult to see. The only real issue I see with the interior form these shots is the shoulder harnesses are WAY too long, but that is an easy fix and I also don't see lap belts on the pilot/copilot seats. Neither of these are deal breakers. i am also unsure what the small circles on the rear cabin wall represent. Still, I will put this interior up against any Huey kit on the market, even the 1/35 Dragon kit. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Wow, it surely looks very very good. I like the b pillars, corrected IP, pilot armoured seats, etc. I will have a lot of fun detailing this bird. I want it now LOL. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cant imagine what Eduard will do with this kit. Hopefully a full Big Ed set with interior, exterior, mask, etc... Cant wait!! Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 That is one nice kit. I hope we buy enough kits of this to fund the 1/35 scale kit. That engine detail is amazing. Thanks again Glen, Floyd and Ray! Can't wait to buy it. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
