Revell 1/48 Huey ... Aggressor

[Guest]

On the bench at the mo... part made and resisting temptation to throw it at the wall

It's just as bad as the Monogram kit i made years ago, even with all the extra tricks and tips i've picked up along the way ... i'll even say that the plastic in the Revell kit is substandard to the Mono kit.

Shame they can't improve the old moulds really.

Will be giving it a different Camo job, as an aggressor in black/white (almost a what/if type)

Anyway it's like a big blob of glue and sanding marks at the mo...... have a laugh [ATTACH]46298.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]46299.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]46300.vB[/ATTACH]

ps this threads also a test to see if things post correctly, i posted a ROK M5A1 dio days ago (my comp "glitched" when uploading pics) and can't find it in a search now, it never showed up in the 24hr search either ....but i can see it in my post list.

I got my main man Aaron to have a search and so far he hasn't found it..... puzzling ... maybe a re-install is in order if no-one sees this thread

Oh boy, I started building the same kit and re-boxed it a short time later due to all the problems it has. Nothing fit on this thing and almost all the raised detail will be sanded away :-(

Might try it later again....

@ Ole, cheers for looking mate, trouble is i've tried to reply and it dont work.... the threads had loads of views but no replies so it either looks crap or the reply function of the thread is dodgy and they're not registering.

@ Theuns, i think i saw your comments on another forum concerning your go at it, i browsed the net for quite some time and most of the comments about this kit are bad, ranging from annoyance at the wrong version detailing to someone just wanting to use it as air-rifle target practice

I'm not gonna give up on this and i have some "happy pills" ready for when it gets to me :

[Guest]

I might have to nip over the bridge and pick some up mate ...

@ Mike .. thanks ... starting to rip my hair out a bit ... it is a Revell kit after all

Got the base coat on .... now to paint the camo, was going to try and use spray paint but i feel more comfortable using the hairy stick.

more piccies when it looks reasonably decent.

Yea there are allot of guys on the finescale modlers forum that say the kit is basically worthless and not even going to the trouble of building it because of all the hassles. I do think if one builds it knowing that and just have fun it could turn out nice.

Hi Colin keep at it i know you will beat this into submission and it WILL turnout to be a great build

C'mon Colin, don't let the SOAB grind you down.....It's only a bit of plastic and not some Creature from the Blue Lagoon.....Or is it?!!!

You can see that Iroquois off Colin!

[Guest]

Colin I built this kit years ago and still have an eye twich from it. Hang in there it is doable!

[Guest]

Ian, i'm beating it just, (pity it's not with a big stick)

Ron, it's like Frankensteins monster at the mo

Joe, thanks for the confidence boost needed!!!!

Trey, did you do the Revell or Monogram? i did it as a monogram years ago, just thought it was my inexperience that showed through, but now i have a different opinion.

[Guest]

Quick pic ....

base coat on and just roughly laying out the black for the camo pattern.
