JeffS Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Here is the 1/35 scale Dragon/Panda UH-1H. The kit includes Eduard PE and believe me it really needs it. It was build for the Helicopter GB over at UAMF. I called it finished about 1 hour ago. It was literally whipped into shape. It is done in the marking of the 121st Assualt Helicopter Company, the Soc Trang "Tigers." 1st Aviation Brigade. Thank you for looking.
Glynyrd Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Looks great, I really like the guns. Any fit problems? Glenn
ewahl Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 This chopper really looks great. One could never tell that you whipped it into shape. What scale was the whip? :lol: Ed
PaulBradley Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 C'mon over and see Jeff's build thread at: http://gregers.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php...&highlight= Always instructive to see the background behind a model. Nice one, Jeff, and thanks for sharing!
jabow Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Clear!! Boy!! Does that bring back memories. Spent about 2000 hrs behind one of these cyclics!! I like it!! Wish a GOOD 48th scale one was available. Bo Roberts
VonL Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Nice build - !!! Makes me wanna hunt down the 1/72...
JeffS Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Posted May 7, 2009 Glenn, it wasn't so much a fit issue as much as it had many parts out of scale. In that I mean thick, soft detail and the like. Also, there are many options with this kit so know your subject or check your references. Eduard saved the day with this kit. Isn't it cool when a kit that gives you fits is finally done and you can say "I did it!!!!!!
Mark Aldrich Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Very Nice!!! Brings back memories of my Air Assault Days.
ghodges Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 When I think "helicopter", THAT"S what I picture! Looks dead-on to me! Did the green glass come tinted in the kit, or did you do it yourself (and how)? I start hearing "Paint it Black" (Tour of Duty) just looking at it......Cheers! GIL
JeffS Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Posted May 8, 2009 Hi Gil. Well I hear CCR's Run thru the Jungle myself or Fortunate Son. Oh yeah, the glass. One coat Tamiya clear green with a wide brush leaving no streaks. Seems like when I airbrush the clear colors they pool around the edges.
