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.

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.

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.
