Hobby boss Huey UH1 1-18

Excellent work !! Congratulations !

[@Roosterfox]

Thank you

[@charliegrec]

Beautiful hope I can do my kit justice

[@aVamer]

Well done! Is there a video were the props spin with the magnets?

[@equesfuscus]

Those seat belt buckles are truly impressive. If you built the crew-served miniguns, did you do anything to improve the way they're connected to the frame? The two little prongs don't seem to plug in very well to the frame. It's almost like they're missing a piece.

[@Roosterfox]

I only built the miniguns that are shown in the video it doesn’t surprise me your having issues the kit was not great the seat belts buckles are 1/20 car buckles I did fabricate the rear ones

[@jorgeyamane6655]

Awesome!

[@Roosterfox]

Thanks :-)

Nice paint job on that Huey! I see you did preshading in black. What else did you do to get that finish? What's up with the rock salt on the bottom, is it just for weathering?

[@Roosterfox]

I post shaded with lighter colours of the base colours then weathered with oils

[@zazen69]

@@Roosterfox Looks amazing! Did you varnish before weathering and how did you use the rock salt?

[@Roosterfox]

@@zazen69 no just Matt coat and then I sprayed water on the model added rock salt let it dry and painted over the top then remove with water there’s a lot of demos on you tube on this technique

Hi, awesome build. Well done. I've just started one but I'm modifying it and stretching it to resemble a UH-1D. Would you consider printing and selling some of your 3D printed upgrades?

[@Roosterfox]

It was a friend who done the printing for me I can ask if you want

[@firemandeano]

That would be awesome if you could please. I have a build thread of mine on large scale modeller

[@Roosterfox]

@@firemandeano I have spoken to my friend and he kept the files you can contact him at [e-mail]

[@firemandeano]

@@Roosterfox awesome, done! Thanks for your help

[@Roosterfox]

It was a friend of mine who printed the parts for me I can ask and find out for you

[@arinjoymitra1526]

Beautiful built. Congratulations. Did you scratch built anything or it's all in the model kit

[@Roosterfox]

No the kit was poor I had to 3D print a lot of interior parts and had to scratch build a lot exterior detail as well

[@Kanovskiy]

@@Roosterfox I understand it's the mold of a toy (Bbi/Merit) maybe that's the reason for suboptimal detail.

[@njcdailo8934]

Jeez. 🫡

[@still_a_big_kid]

What paint did you use for the exterior?

[@Roosterfox]

Tamiya XF 62

[@yojoeturner]

What’s the best glue to use on this hobbyboss?

[@Roosterfox]

Just the normal cement that you would use on any other model kit

[@markuspemler3489]

For this scale this is a rather basic kit, a great opportunity wasted, sad

[@Roosterfox]

I agree

[@Collateralcoffee]

A slideshow?? REally???? And how did a kit at this scale manage to be so horrible???
