Italeri 1:48th UH-1D Final Reveal

Post by SyntaxModels »

Hi guys! I'm back and I think I have reached an epiphany, I don't care about inaccuracies in my models! Mwahahahahah, I shall smite all ye rivet counters with my historically shocking models!

Anyways, onto the finished model, I decided to use the RAAF decals provided in the kit simply because everyone would expect you do a US one but ohnononono! Not me! I am an Australian and am proud to represent that in my models by always choosing the Australian option if it requires little or no extra effort :p!

A quick peek into the final interior, weathering and all, keep in mind this was the first time I had ever attempted weathering my kit and you can see what I used at the end of this post.

And here we go, the finished product, both sides visible and even though it is quite hard to see, the open panel on the side with the closed door does actually have some wiring in it, the panel that would go on it has the AAF on it because that is where it would have gone if closed.

And finally I would like to thank Tamiya, Humbrol, Revell and Italeri for making this build possible, Tamiya for the paints and weathering, Humbrol for the black paint, Revell for the glue and Italeri for the kit itself.

I agree about the "inaccuracies" of a kit not mattering. If it looks good to me (when I ever finish them) then I'm happy! By the way, since you had to beat us all to the finish you get to build another! :th:

Looks nice and you can really notice the weathering. Would be great to see some larger images if possible.
