Monogram UH-1C

Post by ulvdemon »

In my continuing adventures of building old Monogram kits, I will do the old UH-1B/C mongrel Huey Hog. Might not get done by the end of the year, but no harm in trying. :dance:

Still alive, just wanted to get some progress done before posting pictures. Enjoy. also, does anyone have any recommendations on where to find "UNITED STATES ARMY" decals in 1/48? The model came with the Marines marking and I am not going that route.

Have a hunt in your hobby/model shops for Fireball Modelworks FMD-048 or PrintScale 48-204.
The first have been out of production a while but you might find a set on eBay or the like.
PrintScale are still in production, if you can't get them locally this site has them for about $US 21:

    Thanks for the help, no idea why I can never find these things myself when I search for it. I might have found a set for my build.

    I have the fuselage put together, going to sand the seams and even everything out as much as I can. Pretty surprised on how well the cabin fit within the fuselage halves. I was expecting some major issues. Then again, I haven't put in the windscreen or the top yet, so who knows. :tongue:

    As for the decals, I might get a set from Werner Wings UH-1D/H and borrow the United States Army and some other stencils to flesh this out.
