                        Finally got the cabin interior together. It's Seminar's UH-1B with an IP and Seats from Cobra Co's UH-1C back date set (I also used the rotor blades from thier set as the rotor blades from the kit were destroyed by the rubber pieces included. )


                        Here, you can see my poor attempt at trying to paint in fabric folds.



                        The cobra co IP is difficult to se here, but is beautifully rendered

                        Yep - I'd like to find another seminar B model kit. It really is a nice kit. I think I originally bought this around 95 or 96 - but quality wise, I would put this up there with MRC and the like.

                        There was a question back there somewhere about tinting the greenhouse windows. I did mine by mixing 6 drops green and 4 drops blue food coloring into a container of future and then dipping the windows into it. Worked like a charm after 4 or 5 dunks.

                        Don't see why not. Generally, I think that's what is recommended but I didn't have any
                        so I had to use the future trick.

                        wait, should I be spraying or dipping the glass in the paint?

                        I just bought my kit last night. Finally. I got the Italeri 1/72 UH-1B

                        You could do either with the tamiya paint.
                        Have fun with the Italeri kit - but the "B" never carried the chin turret as pictuered in the box art, just the "C"

                        Dude,
                        Found out I was wrong. While going through some material I found what was identified as a "B" from the 120th AHC that was sporting a chin turret. Sorry

                        no prob, so do you think other units would have had the turret?

                        I don't see why not. Just need to research the unit you want to depict.

                        I have made further progress on my "Razorback". Got the basic painting done,
                        need to add the unit markings - gotta paint those since there are no decals
                        as far as I know. I also get to put the weapons system together.

                        looks good! cant wait to see the finished product.
                        I am almost done clearing off the workbench, probably by next week I 'll be ready to start.
