Andy`s Dragon 1/35 Huey UH-1D (Pete's Helicopter GB).

[JR]

Can't see much wrong with it Andy, tell us more as it might help some one thinking of buying it .

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Yes, a lovely build cracking detail. When I did the 1/24 one with LED's I found it was a pain to get together and that wasn't just because of the extra wiring.

A nice build Andy, really like it.

WOW... You did one of those?!! ,,,, would like to see that mate
Thank you very much for the kind comments about my effort,
Andy

There ya go. Agree with yo, not the easiest of builds. The tails lights are fibre optics, the anti-collision light flashed, the nav lights are also fibre optics and I found a lovely orange/red light for the interior. I also added some fibre optics in the flight panel.

That's a fine looking Huey Mr. Smythe......I hope you get around to that dio. sooner rather than later. Looking forward to it.

You've done it Andy...now let's see you do the dio.
I don't see anything wrong with it except it's overly glossed...a satin finish would look right for the dio.

Cheers,
Richard

It might have put up a fight, but you beat it into shape!
Great result and I will look forward to the Diorama when you get into it.

 

[Allen Dewire]

I'm with the guys here Mr. Smiff. She's a great looking Huey and you have done a bang up job finishing her off. Don't be so hard on yourself Andy.....Can't wait to see what you do with the figs and the Dio Buddy.

Prost

Nice action chopper Andy.
Steve, is that a Perfume River reference?

 

[The Smythe Meister]

It might have put up a fight, but you beat it into shape!
Great result and I will look forward to the Diorama when you get into it.

Thanks Ian,much appreciated,
SOME of the problems may well have been down to lack of experience of building Flying things..... but definitely not ALL of them
