Turned out very nice 👍, did you paint the camo free hand?

Tommy Agne
Hi DuperScale 👋! Thx for stepping by. The camo was done with the Help of blue tac 😁, free hand ist not so my strenght 😬.

Neuling
Very good diorama and beautiful camouflage colors 👍

CaptGPF
Stunningly beautiful! The folks at LAFB would be proud of this!

Tommy Agne
😂😂😂. Thx CaptGPF. I think the fellows at Luke are Happy with the new 'Fat Amy'...😆

CaptGPF
ROFL! Well, Jet's do gain some weight with each generation! 😜

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat! 😉

Moreno Baruffini
Wow! I wasn't aware of this plane. Following with a lot of interest!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome mates.
Me neither, until I visited the Duebendorf museum 🙂

Patryk S.
Following! Very interresting project!

Michael Kohl
Is Duebendorf worth a visit?

Moreno Baruffini
I'm also curious about Dübendorf, now the Alptransit tunnel is closed, but It should be a nice trip from southern Alps

Łukasz Gliński
Well, I visited Dübendorf only once, more than a decade ago. Not that the Switzerland changes very quickly, but it was a while ago 😉
Not the biggest one I've been to (don't expect the size of Duxford), but very interesting. As it's in CH, there are many unique airplanes on display, so highly recommended.
The C36 was unfortunately parked the way you couldn't see the interior v.well, so there's a lot of guesswork involved in this build. Kora's kit has the same interior setup for all C36 versions which is not true for sure.

Cuajete
Interesting!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome amigo 👍 I had to use some brute force today, but the fuselage has been closed

Edward MacKenzie
Well, it's time for me to take a seat here too, especially because i have this kit in my stash and live 10 minutes from Duebendorf 😉

Moreno Baruffini
...At the end of the day, I've also bought this kit! Great progress 👍

Bernd Grün
Promising start, Lukasz. Following! 👍

Cuajete
Looking good so far, Łukasz. Go on!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks a lot, it's sort of on hold currently, as I prefer sanding the resin kits outdoors 🙂

Nicolas
Joining in

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Cuajete
I agree with you, Łukasz 👍
Despite this, it is advisable to use a mask or you can even sand inside a bag if you do not do it outdoors. Resin dust is toxic and can be carcinogenic.

Michael Kohl
Consider wet sanding. It ameliorates the dust problem considerably. Not using a dust mask when dry sanding resin isn't the most brilliant idea - being it in- or outside.

Łukasz Gliński
Just to be clear, inside or putside - mask is always there, I just skip cleaning the residue from the modelling room 👍

Bernd Grün
Nice start, Lukasz! 👍 Following!

Moreno Baruffini
Already summer in Poland Łukasz? 😉 What do you use as filler?

Łukasz Gliński
CA glue and some fancy sand from Revell Fix kit. Still, lots of sanding ahead

Cuajete
Great, Łukasz! Summer makes you even stronger 💪

Thomas Kolb
Cool project although I missed the first part! I am reserving my seat.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Thomas, great to see you here. I advanced a bit lately and managed to force the canopy into submission (just in case you wondered - there are 2 pieces in the kit)

Ben M
I've had the same issue with vacu canopies. Each one has gotten a little better for me.

Moreno Baruffini
Glad to see you again working on this Łukasz!

Ekki
Watching.

Cristian A
Welcome Ekki, beautiful helicopters in your collection!

Ekki
Thanks.

Booking my seat.

Nicolas
I'm following this as well.

CaptGPF
Ditto

Cristian A
Done! 🚁 Another project completed! 🚁

Glad to present the UH-1B Huey, a legendary icon from the Vietnam War. 🇺🇸📍Da Nang 🇻🇳

Will add some final review photos on a separate album in a bit.

Feeling proud of how this one turned out from a basic Italeri kit, even if it's not perfect! What do you think?

CaptGPF
Italeri kits rank far down there with American model kits in my book (last resort model kits if you have no other choice). To get this result with an Italeri says a lot! Lovely build!

Ludvík Kružík
I still miss this small helicopter in my collection of flying machines used in Czechoslovakia. The time has come for me to rectify that. 😉

Villiers de Vos
I will follow along.

Ludvík Kružík
Welcome Villiers! 🙂

Greg Baker
Oh. I built a 1/72 version of the Mi-1M... This should be interesting.

Ludvík Kružík
Hello, Greg. I know there's a Mi-1M kit in 1/72nd scale. Unfortunately, only this and a rather old kit from Special Hobby exists in 1/48 scale. In addition, this kit is an older version of the Mi-1A, which is different from the upgraded version of the Mi-1M. It has a different nose shape, different cockpit glazing and other minor changes. And since I decided to build the upgraded version of the Mi-1M, I will not avoid modifications to the kit.
To give you a better idea of the extent of the modifications to the kit, I've included a picture with the differences between the Mi-1A and Mi-1M versions color coded.

Greg Baker
Oh, neat! I didn't realize there were so many changes between the versions. This is going to look great!

Ludvík Kružík
Greg, thank you for your support.

I started building the model by making new transparent parts.

Alec K
Taking a seat, this brings back memories of ABC magazine 😜👍

gorby
Nice work moulding the new transparent parts.

Greg Baker
Yeah. Nice work on the heat-n-smash moulding for the clear parts. That can be tricky to do.
