Title: Bell UH-1F
Post by: chriswil42 on August 23, 2020, 04:16:27 PM: This is the Italeri kit in 1/72nd scale. Colour scheme is for Vietnam 1966.
All airbrushed with mr hobby paints apart from the underside which is Halfords Fiat white.
Built straight out of the box and went together quite well.

Don't think a Huey could sneak up on anything.

Just how many do you have on the go?
Trying to outdo Dave?
Title: Re: Bell UH-1F
Post by: chriswil42 on August 24, 2020, 04:27:01 PM: I usually have three or four on the go. I don't think I'm upto Dave's rate of output by a long way.

Post by: MSea on August 24, 2020, 05:10:15 PM: As I have said before - if we ALL club together , we still could not out build Zak.

Title: Re: Bell UH-1F
Post by: chriswil42 on August 25, 2020, 01:56:39 PM: Thanks - I probably will.

Post by: Bigkev on August 25, 2020, 04:30:49 PM: Don't worry chaps, if Zak beats us in the 'build' stakes, then we can always confiscate his winning medal, on grounds of being 'too' skilled.
Cheers,

Post by: cph64 on August 27, 2020, 04:17:05 PM: Rainy days and retirement mean a steady output at this end. The only problem is I'm running out of display cabinet space!!! Oh, what a dilemma.
Title: Re: Bell UH-1F
Post by: Bigkev on August 27, 2020, 06:07:37 PM: What about an extension?
The missus wouldn't mind, especially if you bought her a couple of balls of wool.

Me too, I have sold some built models on EBay to make space, but the experience is not very enjoyable.
Too much back biting and expectations that models will travel well, and of course they don't.

Not sent any built models, but all unmade models I have sent have arrived as desired.
