Completed Revell Huey UH-1C

nice!  I dont know how I feel about the paint job,but it is all about what the builder likes! I cant knock you for it! 

I am building the same kit...almost ready for primer.  I definitely had some fuselage fit issues, but no where near as much putty as you had mentioned

Looks like you got her together pretty well. A little hard work and some can really make those Revell/Monogram kits shine... believe me, I know!

I kinda like the color scheme ya got there. It's a little bright but it really breaks up the drab. A flat coat would tone it down but you like the finish the way it is and as Justin said, that's all that matters.

I also like all the spades. were those kit supplied decals?

I may actually re-shoot the photos.  I did them indoors with a straight flash on my camera so a lot of the "shininess" is actually flash reflection.  The actual finish is nowhere as shiny as what the photos show.

Yup, all 3 spade decals came with the kit.  If I had of built the grenade launcher, a small spade would have been applied on both sides of the launcher on the nose.  Since I opted to not use the launcher, I used the large spade.  I didn't want to throw the smaller spades in my spares box so I thought, why not add them to the rotors!

One thing is for sure, she ain't drab!  Build em like ya like em.  You might actually consider a scheme like this some time if you do another one.

Ray nailed it on the head. - "Build em like ya like em."

I not a big stickler for accuracy unless I'm building something very specific... if it looks right then I'll run with it. It looks like a Huey to me.

I've actually been thinking about building this kit... like to torture myself I guess. It's nice to see that it can be put in it's place and come out looking good. Gives me something to look forward to.

I've not been able to model much since the arrival of my second daughter, but this is a kit that I DID complete! Copy and paste the link to my thread on this build from my signature at the bottom of my post. I did pretty much everything by the manual on this build. I dont care a whole lot about accuracy either...I just like to build them!
