UPDATE: #3 Dragon 1/35 UH-1D/H Australian Army build.
Well, I have shelved all other projects as this model has had me intrigued since the momment I picked it up.. I have always wanted to build an Australian Army UH-1H, but as I have only been able to get the Eurotiger in 1/48 scale, I was kinda hesitant to buy the 1/35 Huey because I kinda like to display all my subjects in the same scale.. And so I had seen the Dragon kit a few times, but always put it bac down..
So anyways, my friend that owns the local model shop had it in there, and because I am a regular customer, I had enough credits for 1000JPY off, and so with theprice only being 3800JPY, I infact got it for 2800JPY ($23) It is the UH-1D HEER kit, but it had all the etching sets with it, that I simply had to have it and turn it into an H model..
Anyways, I have started on the cockpit and cabin and have only got as far as this for my 3 days of effot thus far..
Photo etch
Photo etch seat belts at the back.
Painted the seat belts at the front because the photo etch parts were too stiff and unnatural.
I have really had a hard time finding interior pics of Aussie Hueys, so I have basically gone with gut instinct, so any correction and or advice with this kit will be welcomed..
Cheers, Chris
