Roland Roth 02.10.18: Update der Bilder

Joerg R. Jawoll, Roland. Hau rein

Patrick Hagelstein Sieht schon gut aus!

Jasper Breur Teppichklopfer, that's a nice description for the sound of the UH-1. Never heard that one before!

Roland Roth Really, Jasper? This description I know over 30 years

Harry Eder Schaut ja schon ganz gut aus! Da schau ich dir über die Schulter!

ice Da tu ich zugucken tun!

Treehugger Ah, yes. So, this is an announced 1:35 scale kit from Kitty Hawk. They released the 1:48 kit, but then I haven't seen any 1:35 coming out. Maybe it really comes out later in 2018, or, perhaps it won't.

Olivier It has been promised for a while and then they went for 1/48. Still hope it will come one day...

Torben H. Now you have my attention!

Bruce Cooper The F-35 Lightning II which became part of your fighter program a few days ago was an attention getter for me as well! Congratulations.

Markus Antonius bad link, gerald

Florian H. Aha, da bereitet sich einer auf die HUEY von DF vor...

Holger Kranich Jup, und ich hab auch schon eingekauft. Hab den alten Eduard satz gefunden, obwohl der jetzt ja wohl neu aufgelegt wurde und dann hab ich mir die hier besorgt:Helicopter inflatable pontoons (Slingshotmodels 48003, 1:48)

Florian H. Sehr schön, ich hoffe, es wird auch einen BB geben, bzw Bilder hier?!

Holger Kranich Darauf kannst Du das verwetten, was Du achterlich trägst.

Florian H.

Luc B yummiiie

Florian H. On ebay germany i saw one kit at about 80€

Holger Kranich When you say, earlier type of floats, do you mean the 80´th and 90´th?

Felix Troschier The earlier type of floats were bigger and darker in colour. Here you have reference pics:

new/current type:

airliners.net/photo/Germany-..D-Iroquois-%28205%29/1487780

The change must have taken place in mid-1990ies

Holger Kranich Right These older and darker floats are those i´m, searching for! Slingshotmodels, here i come! Thank you very much, Felix!

Felix Troschier They were only used shortly after the HTG 64 was disbanded in 1993. So, the one Shot with the old Floats in combination with a LTG 63 Badge is rather rate. Note, that there HTG 64 decals are not included in the bundle.

Holger Kranich Hmm, thats an interesting. If i recall right, the combination of LTG 63 and those older style floats are prominent in my mind for a Long time since the very late 80´s... Even 70+54 had those floats before it was painted in the anniversary scheme, when i remember right. I have to check the photo Album of my father... But maybe i just remember wrong.

Felix Troschier The LTG 63 didn't operate any Hueys before 1993. As the HTG 64 was disbanded practically in 1993, the 1st wing became LTGrp Holzdorf LTG 62 and the 2nd Wing of the former HTG 64 became 2nd Wing LTG 63. The special scheme of 70+54 is from 1984 and defenitely of an Ahlhorn (HTG 64) origin.

Holger Kranich Juhuuuu, the kit is mine, it just waited on my table... Thanks a lot, David! All is in perfect condition, nothing is broken, as far as i can see. I only miss the concave rearwindows... And the sprues are blue, LOL! Anyway, thank you David! People, buy at DF Helo Stuff, you wont regret it.

Holger Kranich @ Felix, you are definately right with Alhorn, my bad!

uncle chop chop Nice my favoret helli i love them looking good cant wait for more pics clifford

Spanjaard looks good, but the pictures are not very clear.....

Michał Karczewski Pictures are blurry.

Augie looking very good clifford very impressed my friend.

Michael Hickey Awesome build Cliffy, well done.

Roy Stefferud Nice work. I've been looking for a Huey that converts well to a non-gunship variety. The gunships are cool (who doesn't like weapons lol!) but the ones I was around were the transports. Been looking to do one sooner or later.

Clifford Keesler Thank you all for your kind words. I am trying to master a new Camera. @Augie, Hi, lady how you been, haven,t seen you on for awhile. Hope you are doing well.

Clifford Keesler This kit was a Gunship, but I modified it into a "slick". It only cost 15.00 U.S. and builds up rather nice.

Roger Blanc Great ! Absolutely great !

Marko I have seen it live and I can tell you it's absolutely GREAT. Well done.

Vjekoslav Ranec Thank You guys

Choppa Nutta good work !

Germen V excellent

Ekki Well done.

Gary Very nice work. Gary

Michael Phillips Looks great Marko! I am not sure if I have the patience to do a diorama... LOL

Clifford Keesler Very nice looking Huey Marko. How is the kit? I have several 1/35 scale ones but no 1/48 ones.

Marko Thank You guys, I'm glad You like it.

@Clifford. The kit is so so. Not a very easy build and not very much detail. I tried to detail it up a bit with CMK accessories which complicated the hole build a bit more.
But all considered, I'm quite happy with the result. Cheers.

Clifford Keesler I will have to give it a try.

Scott Hastings Awesome diorama, superbly done

Marko Thanks guys.

Calvin Gifford Still undecided on what scheme I will be doing it up in but I really like the 'United States Army Japan' colors.

Ekki Good work

deacon-dave where could I purchase the 3pc litter set for uh-1d 1:32?

Bernd Korte Hello Dave! I'm not sure what you mean. Litter = stretcher for medical transportation? In any case I'm not an expert concerning helo stuff. But if you don't find anything in the scalemates kit data base you might want to try to post your question in the generel news feed. Cheers, Bernd

Different kit, bigger scale, etc but I found this and thought it's an inspiring build regardless!

David Adsett That is bloody awesome...omg...fantastic build, true detail and scratch build master.

Kevin Farrell Hey Hunter,
Couple of things. First, I am really sorry to hear about Tank. We Had an Australian Shepherd who we lost to cancer last year. He was only 3! The vets were all stunned by him getting it at such a young age. My wife is still torn up about it, He was her "buddy" while I was away from home flying somebody somewhere.

Secondly - forget about the re-release of the UH-1N "Anafa" Huey. It's a rip-off. It is as stripped-down as they could make it. If you want to make an Anafa (like me) you have to find the Dragon UH-1N Twin Huey on eBay and paint it in Anafa colors. Kevin

Hunter Cummins Thanm you kevin,
I am sorryabout your loss, thats really hard especially for that age. Tank was only five and they were also stunned. But tank lived way longer than he should have wich was amazing
I will be on the hunt for the one you have mentioned here

Manfred Knoll Just arrived in this moment ;o) fast delivery time 2 nice Hueys awesome i like the choppers ;o)

Holger Kranich Cool Manfred! Have you ordered via Modellbau König?

Manfred Knoll Yeeessss ;o) Jooo man ;o)

Holger Kranich Na dann wird es hier ja wohl bald ein neues Projekt zu sehen geben?

Manfred Knoll Muß erst die Langzeitbaustelle mit dem Tango und dem Huey schließen ;o)

Leandro Krindges Great job Dimitris. Once I tried to make a Heli. Bad experience to me hehehehe! Keep going.

Dimitris P.K. Thanx Leandro. Here's an update on the heli

Leandro Krindges Wow Dimitris. It's getting a great Heli. The transparencies you've painted with vitral ink??? The pre shading makes all the difference. Watching closely!!!!

Dimitris P.K. Leandro, thanx again I used Tamiya's Clear Green (X-25) and for those under the pilots feet, a mix of Smoke and Clear Yellow (X-19+X-24 5:1 ratio) and after that a very light mist of Tan (XF-55) on the inside.
It is not only the preshade, but also the light postshade technic I used for the outcome. Update soon

Leandro Krindges NIce. I never did post shade. I'll try someday. Waiting for your update.

Leandro Krindges This stuff of Pre and post shade is the kind of stuff you think that will not work the first time you do. But when you do, it makes all the diference.

Nikolajs Negeriss Nice progress so far ! It works cool with highlighting center of panels with light tones

Dimitris P.K. Thanx Nikolajs! Leandro you should try post shade, just to see if it works for you.
So, slow progress this w/e. I applied Hueys few decals, 9 in number. I still soaking them in MicroSol, while the film is still visible! Arghhhhh%#%#$
Weathering will be the next step. Stay tuned!

Clifford Keesler Looking very nice.

Dimitris P.K. Thank you Clifford
So, my first heli took its place on my display stand. It was fun to built, dispite various issues of the kit (especially the clear parts which are a pain to fit)
Hope you like it. More and better pics, soon (when I get back my tripod and photobooth I lent to a friend a month ago )

Gordon Sørensen Looks great Dimitris!

Nikolajs Negeriss Nice chopper! I like the paintjob, it's well-weathered.
Clear parts sometimes is a pain, I agree. BTW, I found one of solution how to "hide" frame traces. I apply mask on both sides of the window, leaving only the frame border and paint it with black or model base color. Black (or dark gray) is better, cause it will simulate rubber color.. After that you remove masks and get nice dark frame. BTW, this is well-know approach for car builders for car lights How you can use this in the future

Adolf Aragon hi Clayton, i couldn't find my instructions as well, as i had built it in 1979. I had looked in revell's website for u but all they had were the instructions for the old monogram molds. if u send me clear pics of the parts on the sprues with the numbers (1 sprue per photo), I think I can remember enough to call out the assembly sequence for u. u can send me the pics at causewayboy0@gmail.com.

Clayton Ching I just bought one on eBay but it is minus the instructions. Do you have a pdf copy you can send me?

Adolf Aragon hi Clayton, sorry i couldn't find mine as well, as i had built it in 1979.

scalemates ow yeah!

Jermaine Hoskin I really need to get me a Huey. I almost wanna say it's my favorite helicopter.

B Cool!! My favorite helicopter is the Stealth Blackhawk from Operation Neptune's Spear back in May of 2011. If only I can find one in 1/72...

Jose Miguel Rodriguez Boys, the kit from Esci/Italeri has a lot of years!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don´t know why Hobby Boss didn´t make an D or an H.
