I’ve started with the base for the display of the Huey. It doesn’t look like much yet, but there’s not too much work left with the lower part. It’s going to be build in two parts. The one that you can see here in this picture. And then the Helipad which will rest on the 5 pillars.

I think I’ve finished the major sanding job for now. I’ve inserted the main canopy windows, which are not the best fit ever (I really think that I’m cursed on this one). And the I glued some of the antennas and smaller parts in place. Slowly but steadily the Huey is getting ready for painting.

I finally got to work on my Huey again. I thought I could start where I’ve left off the last time I worked on it. But that wasn’t meant to be. It turns out that the filling and sanding that I had done the last time were not sufficient, not even close to what I would like it to be. So basically I’ve applied another layer of putty. The next session will be sanding, …. and sanding, … and sanding…..

I’ve prepared everything to continue on the base. I didn’t take any pictures though. The progress doesn’t show much. During my next session I will be able (at least I hope) to start with the “Ground” of the base. I’ve decided to paint the landing pad, for I was not satisfied with glueing a printout to the wood. More to come, ……
