SPA Modeler

Well, I stalled out on the 1/35 Huey . . . hope to get back to it soon enough. My stash is rapidly becoming a shelf of someday as more and more "in process" builds pile up. Anyway, haven't posted much on this one. I've been puttering away on the flight deck and finally have that pretty much done.

I'm using the Quinta 3D decals, some Eduard PE and the PE that came with the kit. Where I can.













I've started on the fuselage thingys and "Future-ized" the windows, except for the front piece. May go back and do that later.

Wow, that is bigger than I thought it would be for the scale. This will be super fun to watch.

Pit looks great Lyle. This is going to be a big one!

Yep, shopping in the plus sizes with this one. I think the fuselage join will be interesting judging from a bit of test fitting. I’m thinking some “positive assist” strips will be called for.

The CH-47 is a big whirly bird…. A VERY big whirly bird… think like C-47 size for the fuselage….

Looks really good

Thanks, gents. So far pretty good.

Wow, that’s looking really good, Lyle!

Big whirly bird to boot too!

Thanks, Tom.

Cockpit looks great! The Quinta decals really enhance things quite significantly, don't they?
