@Augie: Hmm, an UH-1C. So we get different types together. Great!
Something else, too? Another Hind...? With eagle camouflage? 😉

A B, yes! I idiot typed C, because I read to much about C's today...
Hard work? After the fine, good job with your Hind, what could be a problem for you, even if the kit turns out to be an B-class kit?

Just let me up-load the piccie.. you'll see.. I think i'll be scratch building rotors along with surfboards...

Ups, what happened there? The big holes seem to be quite deep, that even filling and sanding wouldn't bring back the needed stiffness(?). The rotors are a challenge...

Looks like the rubber ammo belts have somehow melted into the plastic of the rotors... will have to see if i can salvage them somehow

Music from 60´s and 70´s fit pretty good in the Vietnam Groupbuild;) I loved it whilst playing Battlefield Vietnam!

Hey Augie. Looks repairable from here. On the leading and trailing edges, just cut away the melted plastic generously (!) leaving square cutouts that can be filled with square pieces of styrene sheet corresponding in size. Let the glue thoroughly dry and then blend everything in using a file. May sound scary and look scary in the beginning, just give it a try - nothing to lose anyway. Standard practice for repairing broken wing trailing edges. 🙂
The surface damage can be cured with filler - unless the damage is so deep that there's no 'flesh' left for the filler to stick to, of course.
View it as fixing battle damage, even seems to fit the topic 😉

Thanks Burkhard.. I'm seeing what i can do for them.. failing that will look for a spare pair of blades

Uhhhhhh,thats heavy @Augie
i am not sure if i would put so much work in these Blades like Burkhard said.
But ,give it a try.
How could that happen???

Did the kit come like that or what...........it looks repairable and i agree with Burkhard. You are lucky as the blades are straight lines with a lit curvature on it. Plastic sheet will do a great job. I once repaired the whole tail and rudder of revell`s f4 using plastic sheet. the photo is in one of my albums.................u cant notice it even a close-up..................good luck

Hey Markus, Sherif.. they came like it..
Its the compound of rubber, its chemicaly active so eats the plastic..

Try taking measurements of each blade and make it of pastic sheet as the huey did not have a very detailed blades. be careful not to touch the rubber..........................it might eat u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done, Augie! Your repairjob is looking really good! I also got to start. Still got some work to do, but weekend should be fine.

Actually guys.. it was pretty simple.. I tried something new and it just worked..
All i did was stuck a peice of selotape across the back of the blade.. and filled the gaps with superglue.. it doesnt stick to the tape.. 🙂

Now that's how you fix things! Good job - I love to see great saves like that. With the right glues, plastics, putties and sanding sticks - practically everything can be fixed!

@Augie: After your great job with the Hind, what could stop you...? Nothing - as we see! I picked the right one. You'll do a good job on her... 😉
@Guido: To put one on top... and the pilots wearing pettycoats... 🙂

Are u going to remove the tape? Tapes, after some time loses grip and gets sticky when the glue get old.............so be careful augie
5 July 2012, 22:38
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
hi Sherif, the tape is removed.. it is only there to give the superglue something to rest on while it drys.. then once dry, as the superglue doesnt stick to the tape. you just peel off

![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
*blush* sherif your too kind.. was luck..
@babak: Not sure it will be that epic... I['ll do what i can do..

Aha, so you just photoshopped the piccies?;)
Nö, you did a great job!

*giggles* Holly..the lack of finger prints from superglue bare testimant to the amount of saning the blade needed

Hey u guys i got all my kits out to be handy but now i am sitting wondering which one. bloody confusing. shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Sherif, why not picking something in 1:35 and join the groupbuild?
7 July 2012, 12:11
![](/profiles/img/11067-733-s.jpg)
Hey Sherif, why don't you update your stash so we all can see what you have and we'll do the choosing for you 😉

Ok Guys.. I'm actually going to put the hueys on hold for a few days..
I'm gonna look at building somthing else first..
7 July 2012, 20:40
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Oh Franks, thats mean teasing a girl...If i had one in the stash.. I would be sorely tempted.. but alas.. I will probably look at something 1:72.. just not sure yet..
But the F-100 in 1:48 is also tempting
