Quote from: frank2056 on August 30, 2024, 11:00:48 AMThe 1/72 Loach really is a tough kit, especially that canopy. I have mine in the unfinished pile for years, because of it. To get as good a result as Rui's is really impressive.

Quote from: Wardukw on August 29, 2024, 09:40:46 PMGot a mate who'd kill for a 35th Loach  :lol:

I don't know about the newer versions (or the old Revell 1/32 kit)  but the Dragon/DML 1/35 is even worse than the smaller scale Loach!
Frank ive had the displeasure of build Dragons MD-500s.. 4 fecking times ..total insanity I know but it's the second chopper I ever flew and I still love it ...I just wish ghe glazing wasn't such a nightmare 😕

Quote from: DogfighterZen on August 30, 2024, 02:39:56 PMThanks for the kind words, guys. :thumbsup:
The fit of the canopy really put me off but the Loach is part of a series of whifs i want to build for the PoAF starting during the WWII period and going into the future, so i had to finish it.
Did some cutting, cleaning and dry fitting of the Cobra's fuselage and it fits like a dream compared to the Loach... :mellow:
Rui mate if I ever build a 500 series chopper again I going to do this ...im cutting the frame of the fuselage for the glazing and gluing that to it ..then glue the whole back to the fuselage..fit problem should be sorted ...ok I want to try that now lol
Tome to be a cheap 48th Hughes 500 I think 😆
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I've got two Academy 1/48 MD-500 with CMK conversion sets for the AH-6F/J and 500E and i've been thinking that maybe trying to glue the glazing to each fuselage half separately could help with getting a better fit... all i know is that when i do build another one, i'll need a different approach to avoid this issue.

It's gonna be a Academy 500 I'll get as there cheap and quite easy to get ..cheap enough that it works for an experiment..so no lose if things go pear shaped.
I'm not going to use a Dragon one as mate apart from not seeing one in a damn long minute the price ..holy poop pickles  :o  :o

Yup, not cheap... i have been tempted by the Kittyhawk kit... also expensive but i think the little bird is worth it... :rolleyes: ;D

Yeah, the KH Little birds look very good and i've been thinking of buying the AH kit, even being 1/35, which is not my preferred scale.

My biggest issues is not only the price but Kittyhawk  doesn't have the greatest rep when it comes to parts fitment...it's alot of money for a small model which is going have big problems 🤔

Yeah, the KH Little birds look very good and i've been thinking of buying the AH kit, even being 1/35, which is not my preferred scale.
My biggest issues is not only the price but Kittyhawk  doesn't have the greatest rep when it comes to parts fitment...it's alot of money for a small model which is going have big problems 🤔

Don't think you'll have too many issues, check out the build review below...  :mellow: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/kh/build_kh_50003.shtml

Should I mention that I have a Kitty Hawk 1/35 AH-6 in the Wombat Stash? :unsure:

I see nothing wrong in doing so... but that may end up feeding my jealousy too much and getting me in trouble...  :angel: :wacko:

We have ten entries in this discussion, not counting this one. Is that a record?
Nope 😄
We had one which ended up so squeezed its was just lines ..you couldn't read the words 😄😄😄

Don't know what the record is but i've seen a few of these on here...  ;D
BTW, last night i almost added the KH AH-6 kit to my reservation list on the Superhobby site but realized i don't need it.
I already have the kit and conversion set in 1/48 so i'll only buy a bigger MD500D with tall skids to make Colonel Cochrane's bird in the Blue Thunder movie to join my Monogram BT and the KH kit needs too many mods to end up like the one i want so i'll have to wait until a more suitable option is available... :-\

Tome to be a cheap 48th Hughes 500 I think 😆

I've got two Academy 1/48 MD-500 with CMK conversion sets for the AH-6F/J and 500E and i've been thinking that maybe trying to glue the glazing to each fuselage half separately could help with getting a better fit... all i know is that when i do build another one, i'll need a different approach to avoid this issue.
It's gonna be a Academy 500 I'll get as there cheap and quite easy to get ..cheap enough that it works for an experiment..so no lose if things go pear shaped.
I'm not going to use a Dragon one as mate apart from not seeing one in a damn long minute the price ..holy poop pickles  :o  :o

;D  ;D
Yup, not cheap... i have been tempted by the Kittyhawk kit... also expensive but i think the little bird is worth it... :rolleyes: ;D
Ohhhh ive seen that model and the words very yummy come to mind 😋 😁😁

Nothing relevant to say (no change there then).  I just wanted to add to the nest.    ;)
