Really nice build of the H-34 , my favourite helicopter .

Your helo is getting me motovated to try and get back into scale modelling .

Its been over 2 years since I built anything , I moved house and my modelling stash and equipment got packed away . I now have a huge shed which will house all my needs , I'm getting closer to having a work bench and spraybooth set up .

Would be great to get back into building again , lots of 1/72 H-34 helos to build , your build Raven Morpheus is certainly inspiring me .

Thats a nice looking build there, realy good job on this old bird.

I flew on the British version, the Wessex, a few time sin the early 90's, so this brings back a few memories.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Nice build!  Is this the Italeri kit?

 

 

Yes.

Lower 48 states. I can't cover shipping outside the continental U.S.

 

 

Ah, I see.  I'm in the UK.  No worries though, I'll be ordering an aftermarket 1/72 decal set for a HH-53C I'll be doing soon, Knife 21, so I'll probably have bars and stars left over from them.  Thanks for the offer though.

Looks great. What size are the missing star and bars? I may have a couple of spares, if you are in the lower 48, you can have them.

 

 

 

Thanks guys.  Much appreciated.

As for the bars and stars decals - I'm not too worried about it, just have to make a mental note next time to watch what I'm doing.  The helo looks fine without the missing ones.

By the way, what's the lower 48?

My latest helo, a quick build done over this and last weekend, probably a total of 16hrs.  I was going to replace the grilles with mesh until I saw how tiny the areas I'd be working on are, there's no way my skills are that good!!  I should have bought the 1/48 Revell or Gallery version of this helo...

I should also have read the instructions a little more carefully as a couple of steps require you to drill holes and secure a peg inside the fuselage - after they've told you to seal the fuselage up!!!

Also think I overdid the panel line/dirt wash, another Citadel shade failure, I really need to find a one-hit magic in a bottle wash...

I'm also missing 2 of the bars and stars decals, they got peeled off, must make mental note not to put tamiya tape over decals even if they've got a coat of future on them!!

My clear parts though are almost perfect!!
