Album info
Just completed my Italeri UH-1F in the markings of the 20th SOS. Italeri's short body UH-1 kits are nice, but have some shape issues. The F tailboom shape is too slim, and slightly too long, rotor diameter is too small (40 ft), should be 48 ft for the F. Replaced it with the rotor from a Revell/Hasegawa UH-1D kit. Added detail to the cabin and cargo hook below belly. Nice build, but as always with several minor problems and glitches.
