This
is the 1/48 scale Italeri UH-1D kit converted to a UH-1H from El Salvador Air
Force during the early 1980s period when the country was at war. I used some
aftermarket sets to detail up this model, some of them are CMK UH-1D interior
set, Eduard photoetch set and mask.
I added some scratch
work in the interior with full scratch pilot armoured seats, all new cabin roof
and transmission walls made with styrene sheet.
The M23 gun
subsystem mount was made from scratch and the M60 machine guns were borrowed
from the Minicraft UH-60 Blackhawk kit.
The main rotor head
and mast was detailed and almost made from scratch including stab bar, pitch
tubes, swashplate, scissors, etc. All made from styrene and plastic rod.
