The bubble window of the Revell 1/72 UH-1D fits perfectly!

April 24, 2021
I have purchased the PE parts made by eduard.
I believe it will make the cockpit more precise.
5
April 24, 2021
I'll try to cut it off quickly.

A mistake in the cutting point was noticed and corrected in a hurry.
9
April 26, 2021
I was in a model shop, looking at the products, when I had the idea of making the wingtip lights shine!
10
April 26, 2021
The light is white, but this is not a problem as we will install coloured lenses later.
11
April 26, 2021
It will be powered by the T64 engine, not the R-3350, so it will have to be modified to suit.
12
April 26, 2021
It also extends the fuselage. (It's easy to see because of the different colours).
13
April 26, 2021
Fill in the gaps further.
I'm not very good with a saw, so there are lots of gaps...
14
April 27, 2021
I bought the kit released in 2019 because the decals are deteriorating and I don't know if I can use them and the printing accuracy is not very good.

Summer in Japan is very hot.
Open the windows.

I made a rough shape with a plastic board.

Fillet.
21

The height of the bomb bay and the front fuselage are different and need to be smoothed.
22
May 18, 2021
I'm going to paint it anyway.
23
May 18, 2021
First of all, it was filed...
24

25
June 1, 2021
The AN/APS-80 radome will be sculpted.
You can see that it is smaller than the AN/APS-20.
26
June 1, 2021
I just keep filing and filing.
27
June 1, 2021
One of the most important modifications of the aircraft will be the conversion to the T64 engine.
28
June 1, 2021
It has been filed and smartened up.
29
June 1, 2021
The finished product is checked to make sure that it matches the image of the actual machine.
30
June 1, 2021
It's time to make a new searchlight.
31
June 1, 2021
I re-carved the moulding of the main wings. (I'm getting tendonitis…)
32
June 7, 2021
The installation of a VOR/LOC antenna is another feature of the P-2J.
33
June 7, 2021
We have to say goodbye to the cockpit for a while.
34
June 7, 2021
I made an oil cooler door out of 0.2mm plastic board.
35
June 7, 2021
I temporarily fixed the landing gear.
I've made a rough estimate, but the ground attitude looks fine!
36
June 23, 2021
I used too much force and destroyed the window frame...
37
June 23, 2021
Did I break the window frame? Well, I don't know what you mean.

42

Finally, it's time to paint!
43
June 23, 2021
The Walkway decal cannot be used as it is an extension of the fuselage.
So we will finish with masking!
44
June 24, 2021
Now that the painting is complete, it is time to prepare the base for the decals.
45
June 25, 2021
The marking process is complete!
Once properly photographed, this two-month journey will come to an end.

Awesome project and really nice work so far 👍
About picture 40: They look somewhat like HVAR, or rockets in general.
I could be wrong about that but at least Wikipedia says that the P2J could be armed with rockets under her wings.

Album info

The P-2J is an anti-submarine patrol aircraft developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. in the 1970s to replace the aging P2V-7.
The P-2J has an extended fuselage, a T64 turboprop engine, a larger directional rudder area and spring tabs.
Originally there was a conversion kit available, but I couldn't get it, so I'll do my best as factory manager!
