1/48 UH-1H KITTY HAWK // B Co 4-228th AVN

I never know if picture will show up or not in this forum since is deificult to post but here it is…

This is my 1/48th scale KITTY HAWK UH-1H Huey.

I built it representing United States Army UH-1H From the B Co 4-228th AVN

at el Salvador Between Jan 1991 and Feb1992.

The model was built almost OBB scratch is the instrument panel the HF Tail antenna and mount, the ALQ 144-Jammer and the wires, gunner seats, I remake all the bars on the main rotor mast and the counter weights, the roof inside was completely done out of the one the kit brings the mounts for the M-60 were also modified to make the a bit more scale.

The model was painted with Model Master acrylic Paints. The main exterior color is U.S. Army FS34087.

Weathering was done using pastel chalks and swabs

I wanted to represent one of the many UH-1Hs from the B Co 4-228th AVN stationed at El Salvador during the time frame mentioned above assisting the FAS with the guerrilla war and other task

Is not perfect but I really love this model. and happy with her

Until next Huey.

Great looking build! How did you like the kit?

Thanks sir,

it is the best Huey kit ever made in any scale.

I have build 6 of them and hope never to touch an italeri/esci huey never again.

Beautiful. I just wish they hadn’t messed up on the scissors linkages.
