Just curious as to if it's just me or not. I had a guy send me this kit to build for him. Upon first look, I figured it would be pretty cut and dry. For a little background, I only do aviation modeling, however, this was only my third attempts at helo's in the past year, my other two being the Italeri UH-60, and their offering of the OH-58D, which in my opinion, were both fantastic fun times, despite the challenges. This kit was anything but. The sparse details were easily overlooked, as I didn't expect too much. I initially thought that the lining up of the cockpit, and cabin were going to be the hardest, but I actually breezed through the installation of those with little or no problems. My biggest issues came towards the end, ESPECIALLY with the decals. I used Mr. Mark Setter and Softer on these things, and still had a horrible time getting them to conform. I've had struggles with Hasegawa decals in the past, but geez, these things just did not want to budge for anything. This wouldn't have been nearly as bad of an issue, but on a subject like the UH-34, which is essentially one big contour, this was more than frustrating. My second biggest issue was the construction of the prop and rotor. What should have been probably the easiest part of the build turned out to be miserable. The rotor was supposed to feed down into the cabin, and have a retaining ring at the bottom to hold it in place. No matter what I tried, or how I tried to work around it, the provided part in the kit that's supposed to feed down into the cabin and receive the retaining ring just was not long enough. I wasn't going to force it any more than I already had, for fear that I was going to break it and be at a loss. The rotor still seats atop the mast nicely, but the planning in the instruction manual just baffles me at how it shows you to do it so easily, yet no matter how you try, it doesn't come across. Same thing with the tail. The entire prop is supposed to just fit onto the supplied male part that protrudes from the tail. Only problem with that is that it's about five times bigger than the alloted hole on the back of the prop itself. I wound up having to drill, and bore, and shave the stem to barely get it to be super glued into place. Again, the pictures in the instructions showed just a very casual and simple install. Yet it was anything but. I've never been happier to be finished with a build as I was this one. Just thought I'd ask around to see what everyone elses experience with this kit have been.
