1/48 H-19 resin detail set WIP

Swanny,

Looking forward to seeing your progress on the H-19.  I have a couple in my stash.  Put me on your "limited" edition list for yor resin details.

Looks nice, Heritage just came out with a detail set for the H-34 / Wessex so finally both of these are covered for detail. Now if Revell would just bring back the kits.

Had heard this one and just tried to search for Heritage with no luck - got a link or more details?

Ditto on what everyone else said. I would like a set when you are ready to go into production.

It is for a Wessex but should work for an H-34 as well since the main difference is the engine.

It says they are working on a full resin Wessex in 1/48 too.

I bought several 1/72 items for the Whirlwind from them last year and had great service. Shipping to the US was surprisingly reasonable.

I picked up one of the Heritage sets when they first came out and yes - they work for the Wessex and the H-34 but are not as nice as the older Cutting Edge H-34 set. As for reference I could use some information on the lower cabin, specifically the forward firewall.

I'll post them here for all to see.  Back of cabin working forward.  File names should specify aircraft type:

Keep in mind that these are museum aircraft so accuracy is at the whum of those who did the restoration.

Wow! Your work is impressive and I also will like to be included for your upgrade parts. I recently picked up the Revell kit on ebay and was hoping to obtain some aftermaket parts for it. Will you be tackling the door and cabin windows also?

Just wandering if there's any progress with Swanny's H-19 project.

Nothing new right now. This is something that sits to one side of my main work area and gets some attention between other builds. I think the next thing I'll be doing with this will be some templates for the main cabin. Needs a floor, ceiling, front and aft bulkheads before I can start figuring out the canvas seats and cargo nets. If you have one of these kits you know how little is actually in the box, my work area for this one has one kit box completely full of kit parts, molds, resin parts and drawings along with a second box full of good castings and masters.

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see the final product. This old kit needs a lot of TLC to make it look right . I'll be checking back for updates on this one since I got one of them in my stash. 

You ain't kidding about the TLC. I was looking at one in the museum in Seattle and did not see a single raised rivet anywhere on it - not one. Look at the kit however .....

Yea I know. In a pinch, you can use the kit's fuselage as a cheese grater!  

Any progress on the resin set. I have two of these pigs and will surely get two sets.

It's slow going. I work on it when the interest catches me. Right now it's back to the sideboard.

Beautiful work! I'm an S-55 fan and have a couple of Revell kits I'd like to do in different schemes. I would be interested in buying 2 or 3 sets.

We are eagerly awaiting any further progress on on your project Sawanny!
