Wolfman63 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Starting Italeri's 1/48 scale UH-1D. Have the pilot/co-pilot seats detailed. I am scratch building the jump seats. The one in the kit are way too thick and not in correct scale. Starting the canvas for the benches today. Here are some pictures of the progress.
Wolfman63 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Posted February 12, 2018 Just finished the cockpit. The jump seats came out pretty good. Now working on the fuselage.
ghodges Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 Very nice progress! What did you use to make the canvas jump seats? Very realistic sag to them! GIL

Very realistic sag to them! GIL I used a small 4"X5" flag. The cheap kind mounted on a straw. It is a thin nylon material. I sprayed it with the olive drab on both sides then cut out the shapes. I tried to cut shapes first but the threads started falling apart easily. The paint holds the threads together. For mounting them I placed a paint brush across the seats to give them a slight sag while I glued the front edge down. Edited February 15, 2018 by Wolfman63 1
