salvador001 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Maybe a Salvadorean medevac without the toilet bowl, but i dont know how to make the litters and rescue hoist. That would be a PITA. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) 288 Hong Kong dollars equals 37 US dollars, 32.86 Euros or 28.70 British pounds. Looks like good value for money. LD. P.S. It might also be an idea to consider starting a one type/one kit group build based on this kit. Give it a few months maybe but as soon as this kit is in everyone's hands, they'll want to build one.Why not do it together?

When I get it, I will build build it OOB along with the ESCI and Italeri kits. That way, everyone can see exactly how the three stack up to one another. I will also do detailed comparisons of the key components just as I did for the Italerivs, Hobby Boss 172 UH-1B kits. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

huey_crew_chief Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Squadron has already shipped them. My tracking says it will be in my hand tomorrow. As for litters, Floyd makes them for his Blackhawk medevac converson. They are the same litters the Huey uses. The hoist was not in all aircraft so you don't really need them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The litter is folded and it was used in both aircraft. I am just not sure how many come with WW conversion. I suspect that you will see Floyd come out with many great accessories for the huey kit once the dust settles and people see what is actually coming with the kit.

huey_crew_chief Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 13 hours ago, 11bee said: 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. Looking at the three seat sections in the pics. It looks like that the three pieces are separate parts of the bench seat. The hell hole seats should have to legs vs one. I think it is just biult up wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not surprised you missed them, John. They are rather hard to see form the ground. When Floyd and I told you guys we gave them everything, we meant it! Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GMK Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Some MFO markings would be nice. Longest deployed US Army Hueys, I believe. https://goo.gl/images/ymZLqK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
