shark 64 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys, I'm pretty much done with the cockpit. Few things here and there and thats it. I cant glue the stretchers until I start back on the engine since everything is connected somehow. I have already posted many photos of the engine and transmission so I wont repost what you guys are familiar with. I will post more photos when I am much further in the engine/ transmission build. Thanks again for the interest in the Huey. Here are some photos of the interior. Everything looks crooked because it is not glued but you get the picture .

HeavyArty Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Looks pretty good. The "stretchers" don't look like stretchers though. They look like standard Huey seets to me. Edited July 16, 2009 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks for those decals again. Nothing started yet. I recently moved and am still wading through boxes. I hope to get the workshop set up soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avus Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 You're either a great modeller or good with Photoshop, deleting the exterior from a picture of a real Huey! Bottom line: great work it looks real! I love the chipped paint on the floor, it's sooo reallistic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotorwash Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Oh man, that looks awesome, Oliver! I'm just starting a 1/32 UH-1H and it's a daunting build. I wish I had your skills. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Hi Ray, Can you believe I have not worked on the Huey for several weeks. Just found a few hours yesterday to finally finish the fire extinguisher. It was redone so many times... well! I lost count. Is it the Revell one you're building ? I love that kit. There is no doubt in my mind that you have the skills....all it is is time and patience. Good luck. Post photos when you can.

Eastern Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Wow! Oliver! That's great, fantastic...simply awesome! All is great, detaling, painting and weathering. All details done neatly and look crisp. The extinguisher is the element that brings life to the interior, it looks like a real thing and the first impression was to grabe it and open the valve to extinguish a fire of my jealous. Cheers! Alexander. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
