flyingdragons75 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 My build is a 1/32 Revell UH-1D Huey with a minimal mod and a few extra bobs. This bird will be a VNAF medevac when finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyingdragons75 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 First, I had to remove the "cyst" from the bottom and will cover the opening with styrene later on. I opted to cut off the jump doors since on a few VNAF hueys, they were removed ( in the photos that I saw} Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyingdragons75 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I have a set of Cobra Company armored seats but since C C closed its doors I am gonna save them . I scratchbuilt the armored seats using the C C ones for reference. Edited January 18, 2017 by flyingdragons75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon20driver Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That is some seriously awesome work on those seats. I'm convinced Helo builders are some of the best scratch builders in the hobby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crushkill Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Those cable drops for the pilots are perfect, totally nailed it. It's the little things like that that really set a kit over the top, excited to see how this turns out! By the way, how did you make those cables? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
