A good weekend’s work sees the cockpit almost finished. All that remains is the tie-downs for the ammo box behind the seats. I think I’ll be able to button up the fuselage later this coming week.
Cockpit work on the Huey to replace the incorrect kit seats with @reskit_official armoured seats. My eyes weren’t good enough to handle all of the tiny PE parts but what I could do looks the part.
Here’s my finished 437 Squadron RCAF Dakota. The model represents FZ692 after its transfer from 233 Squadron RAF in September 1944. Already a veteran of Operation Overlord, it took part in Operation Market Garden immediately after joining 437 RCAF.
Next for me is a departure from the norm, in both subject and conflict. No.9 Squadron RAAF flew Hueys in Vietnam and it is one of those I am modelling.
11/11 - Lest We Forget.
And so, my Dakota is done. Glamour pics will follow in a week or two but for now these will do.
