Tom SpiegelbergEine gute Bausatzwahl Bernhard! Hier ist viel anpassen und säubern angesagt, aber dann passt das gut zusammen. Problem ist das Dach, da musst Du einerseits an den Rumpfschalen bei den Streben etwas wegnehmen und an der Oberseite. Dann überlistet man diese Hürde. Hab so einige Fotos vom HUK-1 bei Flickr gefunden. Als Fotosuche einfach HUK-1 eingeben.

Bernhard SchrockThank you Mattes: A lot of seats are free yet.🙂
Tom : danke für die wertvollen Hinweise. In der Tat habe ich schon geahnt, dass das Dach nur theoretisch passt. Heute Abend willl ich mich an den Zusammenbau wagen.

gorbyI'll plonk my bum on one of the available seats and strap in for the your next plastic spectacular. 🙂

Bernhard Schrock🙂. You are welcome: as usual popcorn for all! 🙂
I found the most usable sequence for installation of the fuselage parts:
cockpit to the left half. Right half. Bottom. Upper roof inserted without gluing. Lower roof inserted without gluing. Front bubble glued to the bottom and to the lower roof. Both roofs glued to the fuselage. Air inlet glued in. Ready without mess and disaster. 🙂

bughunterAny kit, no matter how bitchy, has no chance of fighting back under your hands. And it always looks so easy.

Bernhard SchrockToday I worked on the tail. The detailing and overall fit is excellent. However, I recommend changing the assembly sequence. In my opinion, it will hardly be possible to integrate the parts cleanly if you follow the instruction

Dave LongWow. This brings back memories of watching these at the American air force base RAF Wethersfield in England in the 1960s practicing their fire fighting role . They would hover over a fiery crash site and beat the flames back to allow the silver suited ground crew in to rescue the trapped airmen. Wonderful!! Great work.

Bernhard SchrockI'm glad you like the interim status. Alec: That's the same yellow I used with you Corsiar/Prototype. A mix with light gray to reduce saturation. The sea blue (H181) is also lightened / reduced in saturation with sea gray.

Bernhard SchrockThx!🙂
I decided on a different assembly sequence. First I built the complete rotor head (parts D1, D17 and D3). I replaced the plastic axle with a brass tube (1.6 mm). The counterpart (tube with a diameter of 1.8 mm) is installed in the pylon. I recommend to disassemble the vibration dampers (parts d20) and gluing the triangles to the blades first. The middle part can be glued in between later after the installation of painted blades. This achieves a simple and clean assembly of the individual parts.

Bernhard SchrockAs usual, I attached the doors with two pieces of wire. 0.24 mm hole, 0.25 mm wire.

Bernhard SchrockToday was the right time to connect the tail with the fuselage. 5 of 9 struts in place. The decision to replace the etched parts with brass pipes with wire as inlay was right. It's been easy to install and it's all much more stable.

Florian H.Ein sehr schönes Modell und tolles Weihnachtsgeschenk an dich selber. Freue mich auf deine nächsten Projekte. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich dir und deinen Lieben frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr🙂

Bernhard SchrockI thought about Robert's comment again… Somehow it's all very tight! Do I have install the axes of the rotors correct? Unfortunately no! 🙁 I glued the axles at a wrong angle!🙁 It can't work like that.
The axes run parallel to the inner EDGES of the pylons and not through the center of the pylons. Thanks to my solution with a brass tubes, I was able to correct the mistake. With a suitable drill (1,6 mm) and a bit of pressure, I bent the tubes into the correct position / angle 🙂. In the last picture the correct position is shown.

Alec KThis just goes to show that having a second pair of eyes can be helpful (a pair that actually pays attention… 😄. Awesome fix, and amazing model in any case. Merry Christmas!
