thanks mate. I am just figuring out the best way to fit the clear parts... none of them seem to fit as they should and I'd rather mount them before closing the fuselage halves

Unbelievable good details, Sebastijan

yea i hate that had trouble with my chinook too i dnt like using putty on the clears

Sebastijan Videc
well I'm actually trying to solve this problem using white glue used for wood. It dries clear and will hopefully work well in the end.

Ok but watch out PAV dnt frost it i think ull be ok maybe try on a sprue peice first upto u i just think u done a exalent job on it dnt want to see it ruend good luck what about super glue and talcom powder as a filler??

Sebastijan Videc
thank you vorya

UCC: PVA glue is non agressive and can easily be peeled away from the plastic when dry, if the experiment fails. Super glue on the other hand will frost the clear parts unless they had a proper Future dip for protection... but even then, if I'd sand them over, a tedious repair work would have to follow and due to the complex shapes, it'd be quite hard to polish them... Oh and not to mention I noticed some mould defects in clear parts against which I am powerless... definetly this ain't going to be a contest build but should be ok 3-footer 🙂

3-footer??

Very nice work on the interior! I have that kit myself and often hesitated to build it, due to its issues but i can see that yours turn out cool! Now i have no apologies, not to work on it😢!

12 March 2013, 09:34

Sebastijan Videc
3-footer - a model that looks good when viewed from 3 feet distance 😄

Holger - yeah but good luck with it... still playing with those clear parts and dryfit shows some warping and fuselage misalignement as well

uncle chop chop
Hahaha 3-footer gold

Holger Kranich

thanks guys. I am not looking forward to cleaning seams, but after will be done, hopefully the joyful part of painting and weathering will follow 🙂

The ESCI kit is still about the best! I think the worst part of this and most Hueys is glueing the windscreens in! Paint a small boarder around the windscreens to hide the clear edge of the plastic! 🙂

hobby boss huey frog was a dream kit for me not 1 issue with it lucky maybe

21 March 2013, 08:45

Sebastijan Videc
problem is that to my knowledge, HB makes only short fuselage Hueys
