Panda's Huey's aren't horrible, not great either. The rivets are a little big, but still look o.k. The worst part is the interior. The detail is soft, instrument panel is a decal or sticker (depending on the kit), seat legs and vertical support post are way over-scale, etc. The CC set is definitely needed to spruce it up. I comes out looking like a huey though. Here is a review of the "N" kit, same basic kit with N parts added and a new nose.

I don't care for the over sized raised rivet detail I plan to sand them all off and use my pin vice to replace them by drilling tiny shallow holes on the fuselage. This will take a lot of time but it will look much better and will be worth the extra effert. I like recessed details better than the raised ones. The decals adhere better to them and they just look better to me all around. |

I wouldn't sand them all off. The Huey does have lots of raised rives, just not as pronounced as what is there. I would recommend lightly sanding them to reduce their size, but leaving them in place. They are not too big for decals to snug down over.
