This kit is the HU-19B by Italeri. It
is the floatplane equipped version of this rescue
helicopter.
The basic kit goes together well
enough, and the basic scheme is an attractive rescue scheme.
The interior is basic but nicely done, with some basic seats
and instrument panels. As this was to be a quick build, I
decided to leave it as per the kit. In fact I started it on
a Sunday morning, and by the evening, it was assembled and
painted awaiting decals. There is a certain level of therapy
involved in doing a simple build, especially if a certain
amount of difficulty has been experienced with a more
difficult and complicated build.
The main problem with this kit is a
poor fit of the floats, which I never did get right. Still,
they will do for me. Any complaints please send direct to my
complaints division.
I used Tamiya Titanium silver for the
finish, and decaled up at a later date. |
