Build thread here: http://www.scale-models.co.uk/april-june-2013-gb-helicopters/18441-joes-bell-uh-1b-huey-3.html

All done. I highly recommend this kit to anyone looking for a stress-free build. Minimal filler and sanding, accurate shape and size, and the decals were a pleasure to work with.

Bell UH-1B Iroquois A2-720, No.9 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force, based at RAAF Williamtown, 1964. This aircraft initially carried US serial 63-09790. It was delivered to the RAAF on 10th March 1964 and allocated RAAF serial A2-720. It was placed in storage May 1984 and sold in the US as N456SJ in 1990.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I really enjoyed this build, the Italeri kit was magnificent. Ole, it's not too late to crack a helicopter out.

Nice one Joe, nice one indeed.

I keep looking at heli's on e-bay but haven't got the nerve up to get one yet.

5 well earned stars from me too.

Tony.
