hello to all .
this huey , I realized it 3 years ago but I did not have time to share with you , given the current situation , I take advantage of it .

I would like to make this photo in part since I don’t have all the figurines but it will allow me to work more on the huey .

I will use this kit, plus the Eduard PE .

and then a small find, thanks to rotorman , the pilot helmets with the inside , it is in a verlinden kit for a cobra

photo of rotorman :

the Archer sheet to make the rivets inside the front doors , as explained rotorman on his medevac , the grid for the turbine filter .

for the beginning , there was a bit of drilling to remove some parts to improve and to remove any course since the 2 half-fuselages have an air inlet for the model B while I make a C .
here are the parts removed in blue:

the grid of DECAPOD will be used for the part in arc of circle which is the filter with particle which is at the foot of the rotor

A few small improvements on the doors with rotorwash photos of the real door :

those of the kit with 0.3 mm CP addition, then a light putty between the 2 parts then PE eduard:

I’m handing out more tomorrow, promised on something else from the huey.
phil .

regards .

Its off to a good start. Nice job so far.

I’m gonna watch this one! Gotta love a good Huey!

I still have some time, some pictures of the cockpit:

the washing machine with 40 mm grenades:

the pilot seats, co-pilot:

straps on front doors, different things on middle posts, seat springs installation:

and also the harnesses for a front seat and for a back seat called jump seat , more than an hour for this:

that’s for this one, it’s not great at the advanced level .

always work very long with the harnesses of the various occupants, then a little on the cockpit ave the tofs of the true for the system M50 , grenade 40 mm , and the beginning of the filter has particles or air that is at the base of the rotor.

seats with extra small cushion :

the harness in place on at least one:

a few details about the front part of the cockpit, on each side:

and accessory piercing of the extinguisher lance.
and the , extension of the 40 mm ammunition guide since the ED model is not long enough or the ammunition supply in the large cylinder is not in its place:

the real system and or it passes through the middle of the cockpit on the right side of the central console:

most of the photos and documents are mainly from rotorwash , a big thanks to him for sharing his knowledge of the subject , which helped me a lot .

Wow!

Aloha .

thanks to you three .

I switch to the rocket system, and worse a diagram to explain what can be mounted as an armament in order to respect an ideal weight for the helicopter that it is not overloaded.

this diagram was shared by Heavy Arty , it taught me a lot of things and now as soon as a model maker builds a huey , I share this diagram so that it does not install any armament .

the photos of the real one:
the support without anything:

The basket of rockets and the mini-gun I don’t ride:

the different power supplies and the location where the connections are:
left .

right :

my work:
drilling of the support:

fuselage piercing:

bonding of the support and the copper wires from car relays , different diameters , of course:

and I do the same work on the opposite side .

since the computer crashed last night, I’ll show you another part of the setup.

photos of the real, always put to the credit of Ray “Rotorwash” of the forum Arc Air discussion forum .
the cockpit rear part on the entire ceiling, so as to show where are the intercoms of the helmets, the lighting, the fastening points (elastic for the M60 , or the helmets to avoid having to disconnect them ) , the ventilation nozzles:
this one, it’s for the staples if you can call it that, the round stuff that you have to turn in quarter turn to lock for it holds:

now the ceiling:

my ceiling, 0.3 mm CP, copper relay wire auto for intercom/headset connections, beige rounds (remaining bundle domed) is the lighting:

That’s the sound-proofing clips:

and the, I come back to the rockets baskets, while the glue dries, here is the PE for the rockets baskets:

rockets with trigger wires and small PE parts:

and voila, for now, gentlemen.

Hi mister’s .

installation after enlarging the holes on the PE of the fixation points of the rokets pods and after pasting of the firing wires of the rockets :

bonding lines of ARCHER rivets on the 2nd door with the products as required:

voila , just for this moment.

Just awesome! Dang this is looking good.

Very nice - love the detail.

This Hyey is looking very good! Amazing work indeed!

hello to all .
I continue after this interruption.
here is now the landing pad with detail at the level seen in these photos:

I scraped out the original details then manufacturing parts in fine lead sheet , style of what there is on the wine bottle necks ,setting up , applying Tamiya putty , smoothed with acetone .

creation with punch and die of nuts of 2 sizes:

collage of different PE elements on the fuselage:

and here, some pieces of plastic card seen the lower half-fuselages do not position well , rotorman tip:

after my challenge was to do something real on the anti-couple rotor, I went back to see how rotorman had done on his MEDEVAC . still pictures of rotorwash:

here are 2 identical parts , the origin of the kit , flat and the other cut to reposition the 2 pale of the anti-couple:

ready to paint , I put it aside .

the rest, later .
thank you for following and interested in my construction , thank you for your comments .

best regards .
phil .

I wish I still had your passion for details like that . Wow! [:D[

When I work on Vietnam ara items I listen to 60’s music to get more in the spirit of things.

Build on brother!

Hi Papa-Echo-64 . I’m glad you like my editing , I’m not very young either , I’m 56 years old . I hesitated before sharing this montage here , if I make a mistake , I would know right away and it is not just any unit , it is prestigious , in addition being French , I must be careful to respect everything . a large majority of what I apply myself to do on this helicopter comes from what I learned with the best of this forum and that of Arc Air Discussion Forum . I started an F model of the 20 éme SOS but I am missing some information but I have gathered almost everything , and extremely pressed to share . regards . phil .
