1/48 H-34G now a H-34D, now with more pictures!
Posted by Swanny on Tuesday, August 17, 2004 7:30 PM
Progress continues. I have changed the exhaust system to reflect that found on the D model, added the FBM unit to the underside as per the Belgium Air Force and am about ready to head for the paint room for some primer.

Just need to stuff some tissue in that open door.
Cool [8D]

Actually, the Hound was a Soviet spin-off of the H-34. Amazing aircraft to say the least! Smile [:)]

Moving right along now, once the first coat of primer was on I found some areas that needed touch-up but more importantly I looked at my reference material and found a few errors in my work.

I should not have installed the aerial on the rear fuselage so that came off, two new FBM mountings had to be made for over the cabin and wire posts were installed along the bottom of the fuselage for another aerial. Right now she sits in the paint room with the first coat of blue curing.

Hi Mike, you need to lighten up on the caps lock there buddy - it makes it look like you are yelling.

Unfortunately this is a very rare kit and about the only place you might find one is on ebay and even there they can run as much as a hundred dollars. If you are interested in following this build it is listed at my website http://www.swannysmodels.com/H34G.html
