Huey Cabin nearly done...

Hi guys, cabin nearly finished now and I can add the remaining door gunners at a later stage.

The real pain with this kit is that it doesn't include a decal for the instrument panels, I had to hand paint the raised details - nerve wracking stuff !. Personally I think it looks better anyway and although Eduard do an etch set for this, it was to be an out of the box build.
To be honest, there isn't that much visible when the fuselage halves are together anyway.






For the base colour of the cabin I used Tamiya XF-20 Medium Grey, several neutral grey washes add a little life to it along with some post-shading with a darker grey to add some relief.

Full steam ahead to the engine bay now then, stay tuned for more.... :-)
