Huey Hog cabin colours?
Posted by Theuns on Thursday, June 30, 2011 9:17 AM

Hi all

I have a 1/48 Revelle UH-1c hog and a 1/72 Italeri UH-1c.The revelle guys show an interior collour of silver and the Italeri shows light aircraft grey.

I will not be doing a "super build" , it just has to look "semi-correct" and I understand there are too many mistakes on the kits, besides I am no rivet counterStick out tongue

I just want something that is not too far off ,colour wize.

 

Thanx

Rats! I have the wrong interior colour. I went for a light aircraft greyCrying Ah well, to late now.

Cockpit nearly done .I have looked at the fuselarge bottom halves (below the cabin) and the moulding was realy not good there.It needed allot of claening before I can join it, BUT herein lies the problem.By cleaning up the mould line, I thinned the moulding quite a bit.

I recon I will have to re-enforce the joint with some plastic strip on the jointline.

The rest of the moulding has huge amouts of flash and overrun on the moulding seams, anyone else had this problem?

Thanx for the FS code for the exterior!
