I don't know. Even had my coffee. Probably a large part is the utter mess and clutter on my bench. Every time I am sitting here, I try to think of ways to clear it and get better space utilization. I may get some folding tables a replace the cubicle furniture. I'll use the cubicle setup as a gun cleaning area. I am quite frustrated right now.Stikpusher wrote:Lyle, you’ve got to stop watching those Mr Bean or Chevy Chase model building videos on youtube…How did it go that far sideways?

Between that and the Huey I'd say you're right about that. Looking good on this one Lyle.LyleW wrote:Thanks gentlemen. I’ve always liked the looks of this one. Kinda like the DC-3 of helos
Re: Revell 1/48 H-34 Choctaw
Thanks. Yep, the Huey is certainly iconic, too.

Re: Revell 1/48 H-34 Choctaw
I hope I'm done with fixing stuff...
1 reattach/fiddle with windscreen - check
1 reattach and refit right side cockpit window - check
1 main rotor blade - check
1 tail rotor blade make and repair - check
1 antennae on tail - check
1 hand hold right side - check
1 tail wheel strut - check
1 reattach entire tail wheel - pending
The main rotor is simply setting in place at the moment. Tail rotor will not be installed until done. Drying and curing waiting for decals. Painted with Tamiya rattle can TS-5 Olive drab.

Looks really nice (despite your oopsies this week)

Thank you Declan. I think it is turning out okay. Maybe decals tomorrow or Tuesday.
