    Andy`s Dragon 1/35 Huey UH-1D (Pete's Helicopter GB).

    I think i`ve done it!!
    OK then guys,gotta be honest,this build has burnt me out.... An expensive,but flawed,kit"!!......
    I`m calling it finished for now,however,it`s gonna be part of a Dio in the future,(Got some very nice Resin Figs to show "Bailing out " of the Huey),but that`s not for now!
    This kit had a LOT of issues/problems,which is really disappointing,BUT i`m not the best modeller in the world,so i`m not going to bother you with the details.....

    That`s it really,the pics are quite awful,but,until i get this on the dio it`ll do,unless anyone wants better ones!!
    As far as the Group build goes,i`d say this one was the "Ugly Duckling"!..... Nevermind I like a Huey anyway!!
    Thanks for looking in Guys,
    Cheers for now,
    Andy

      Looks great to me Andy, well done
      Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

        Andy. No negative waves!

        It's a fine looking model.

          Andy,
          too rough on yourself, that looks very good - sad to hear 'flawed but expensive', that would certainly take a large slice of enjoyment away from the build for me!

            Cracking work Andy, looking forward to seeing the diorama develop.

                Yes, a lovely build cracking detail. When I did the 1/24 one with LED's I found it was a pain to get together and that wasn't just because of the extra wiring.

                A nice build Andy, really like it.
