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!

Cheers Dave :thumb2:
Yes,unfortunitely this isn`t the first time a Dragon kit has disappointed me.....
.... don`t get me wrong,in a lot of respects they are superb..... BUT ,for the cost,i personally won`t be adding their kits to my stash!!

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

Thanks Ian,
The Main Rotor angles caught me out a bit...... I was hoping they`d be "Flatter" in respect to the fuselage,as you can see,they are more offset,meaning the final Dio base footprint will be more significant!!:anguished:
Nevermind,with the figures i have got to put on my original idea..... that`s fine,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,, AND ,i`ve also got an idea about including a certain "Get to the Huey" set of figgies too?!!!

Can't see much wrong with it Andy, tell us more as it might help some one thinking of buying it .

[The Smythe Meister]

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.

WOW... You did one of those?!! ,,,, would like to see that mate:thumb2:
Thank you very much for the kind comments about my effort,
Andy

There ya go. Agree with yo, not the easiest of builds. The tails lights are fibre optics, the anti-collision light flashed, the nav lights are also fibre optics and I found a lovely orange/red light for the interior. I also added some fibre optics in the flight panel.

That's a fine looking Huey Mr. Smythe......I hope you get around to that dio. sooner rather than later. Looking forward to it.:thumb2:

You've done it Andy...now let's see you do the dio.
I don't see anything wrong with it except it's overly glossed...a satin finish would look right for the dio.

Cheers,
Richard

[Ian M]

It might have put up a fight, but you beat it into shape!
Great result and I will look forward to the Diorama when you get into it.

[Allen Dewire]

I'm with the guys here Mr. Smiff. She's a great looking Huey and you have done a bang up job finishing her off. Don't be so hard on yourself Andy.....Can't wait to see what you do with the figs and the Dio Buddy.

Prost
