Hey rebelreenactor,

Count me in.

Question, does my AH-1W count as a Huey variant? Sorry for the stupid question but I'm not a helo expert. If it doesn't, no big deal, I'll just build something else.

Cheers
Darren

I'm in with an Augusta-Bell 412 in 1/72 from Italeri.
And should I finish it in short time I'll also start working on the UH-1N to AB412 conversion.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the kit is seminar's 1/35 UH-1b with Cobra Co's UH-1B backdate set (needed new rotor blades due to plastic damage from the rubber ammo belts and the earlier non-armoured seats) - will post some progress pics when I get my bench cleared

Glad to have you with us.

As for me. Somebody is reading my post or something and then buying the kit i was going to buy. The italeri huey i was going to build is gone. the same thing happend to me with the Dday group build, I went to buy a C-47 that had been on the shelf for at least a year, and it was gone. So now I will shoot for another kit, I think it was a 1/48 italer air cav one.

You can try looking for superscale or microscale sheets (there were a few I think).

I figure that I am going to have to paint/dry transfer my markings

Hmmmm.... I've always wanted to do a Huey... Let me do some research and see if I can find a nice 1/72 Huey from my LHS (but don't count on it yet, since I'm kinda strapped for cash!)... Tongue [:P]

Hey rebelreenactor,

Well my 1/72 Tamiya (ex Italeri) UH-1B has finally arrived, so as soon as I clear off my current project I can make a start on this group build.

Cheers

Hi there,

I would like to join Huey Group build, but as a beginner I would appreciate advice in selecting the kit I should go for....
I decided to go for 1/48, because all my helos to date are this scale, and I found following options:

- Italeri UH-1D Slick,
- Revell/Monogram UH-1C Huey Hog,
- FUJIMI UH1-B Black bunny (Iroquis and normal?),
- Heller UH-1N USAF
- Corgi Classic UH-1E

If you could help me with selection and maybe recommend me online store with nice selection of helos (for some reson in Poland there is problem with buying some models, basically only Italeri and sometimes revell are fairly easy to get...). Please remember that I am inexperienced byilder, so I probably will not use any enhacers (photo-etched etc)...

Hey guys, sorry for the late response. I'll add you to the list.

I havent built any 1/48 scale helos, but I here revells huey hog is a good kit. A few people in this build are building it.
You could try www.greatmodels.com but i am not sure if they ship to poland.
also you could try www.squadron.com
Italeri does make some nice 1/72 Huey's.
Oh, And don't worry, I havent used PE yet either, I am still not very good.
Well, Sign - Welcome [#welcome]

to the forums, you will have a lot of fun here and get a lot of useful info.

Hey balta1, that is a nice little kit.

I will be going to my hoby store this saturday so I will see if they have anything new.
