CharlieUH-1H Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hello, Anyone here have build them? hows does the Heller 1/72 looks and how is this mold? same question for the Revell 1/32 If pictures available that will be awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I built the 1/32 Revell EC-145 and convert it to a UH-72A. The model is great in both interior and exterior detail, fitting is almost perfect, highly recommended. I used the Werner Wings medevac set, Renaissance set and Fireball decals. I will post some photos later. The 1/72 Heller kit seems to be good, but honestly i havent build it, not my scale. Are you planning to build a Lakota, Charlie? I made a WIP of my Lakota here in ARC. You might want to check it out! Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 As I recall, since the UH-72 is a cots product, not much is different between the airframes, externally. The biggest is the rear clamp shell windows being removed. Depending on what level you want to build to and scale, painting over the clear plastic will be fine. Internally the changed some radio and some other bells and whistles but that was it. In 1/32, the Renaissance set was a PE set. WW helped with Army medic items. The EC-145 medical kit is different iirc. WW set is the only thing easy to find. In 1/72, I had liked the Revell items more then Heller but iirc Heller did have some nicer items. There was a difference on pre cut doors, one was open or could be the other not. I would have to look at the kits again, maybe this weekend I can. Also I think there is a thread on arc where Ray, myself and another broke it done but I could be misremembering, it was a few years ago. Ray did post some pics of Flat Iron birds, despite not liking them. Heller did have a UH-72 boxing, so decals would be easier to get if you can find the Fireball set. Good news is the markings are generic so not to hard if you can't get either. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
