Right. There is a update but no piccies yet. I have added some internal work, fire extinguisher to rear wall, a small first aid box next to seat a blanket wrap on the opposite side, also added a small first aid pouch to inner frame wall. All these items are from the bits box and are 1/35-but they fit superbly.


I have also added some under window door grab handles-these are from the original USS Enterprise model...surprising what you can use.


I have also added some decals to the pilots arm and helmet-red-crosses (1/76 scale after-market decals) on a white roundal. The doors have larger red crosses on white roundal and have added other decals-some would not go on right despite-microsol, decal fix (squeezed and the nipple end came out and I got a model full of decal fix!).


So, have left it for tonight before I swear anymore and the Police are called

UPDATE:


Some piccies of what I have done so far.


Added a first aid box and blanket wrap to either side if the rear bench seat, a small first aid pouch fastened to the floor/roof brace, also a fire extinguisher to the rear bulkhead.


Decals applied to the pilots sleeve and helmet.


Aftermarket decals applied to fuselage, terrible decals to apply.


Doors decalled and glazed, grab handles fitted courtesy of USS Enterprise warp nacelles.


Rear engine exhaust given a burnt look and also added some mesh inside to hide the wiring.


Found a litter carrier that will be fastened to the side.

Great stuff Si, looks awesome so far. May I suggest painting that mesh black, would hide both it and the wiring as the exhaust is a straight through tube on the UH-1.

You're correct Joe, I will see if I can hide it a bit better. You can see the wiring if you peer into it, no other way to wire it...hence the mesh.


Glad you like it so far.

If you spray it will it hurt the wiring? Turbine exhausts are always black inside. Kerosene is filthy. But warm and comforting on a cold night

The wiring is behind the mesh so should be able to brush black.
