Comments

Gertjan Zwart
Imho the kit plastic of the HobbyBoss UH-34 looks poor in comparison to the Italeri one! First thing to do with this kit is to sand most surface detail away because that is way too prominent and gives the kit a toy-like appearance. Tail rotor drive shaft needs some serious thinning too. I get the impression that the cockpit shape is off but that might be bevause I am used to the Italeri example. I am a big HobbyBoss fan, but this is definitely a lesser kit.
