I am about to start building Testor's Huskie H-43B and was looking for any messages on the forum relating to this model. I have not been disappointed as several modelers have commented about it and some have submitted photos, and for me this is very helpful as some of my questions have already been answered before I asked them. For example, I was going to ask about how did other modelers deal with the lack of cabin detail in the Huskie when built OOB. Other modelers have already drawn attention to the lack of detail in the cabin. Apparently only Cobra have made any after-market detailing set for this model but it is rather expensive. However, I still consider buying it if it is sold in my own country, the UK, but have had no luck in finding it so far. If that is not acquired then never mind, I will proceed to build the kit OOB. I wonder when did this kit first appear?
I'm quite a bit into helicopters right now, and what attracted me to the Huskie in particular was the unusual inter-meshing rotor system. Gear wheels are supplied in the kit to enable you to carefully turn the rotors by hand if you want to. I'd like to take this a step further if I could by inserting a little battery-driven motor in the chopper that would turn the rotors (but not go so far as to make it leave the ground, case it breaks). However, I may lack the proficiency and patient to do this out of scratch, and so it might not happen.
