I had decided I wanted the Huey to have a working main rotor.
I inserted a small 6 volt motor into the transmission casing, and made a shaft from carbon fibre rod. This was supported
in a bearing sleeve made from carbon fibre tube.
The kit rotor head controls were attached to the top of the bearing sleeve.
Several PE parts were used in the build for better detail, these had a coat of self etch primer before assembly.
The cockpit top transparencies were made from green clear plasticard.
The crew had arms, legs, heads and torso's cut apart and re attached in the positions I wanted.
