Jungle Landing Zone… A Display Featuring K&C’s UH-1D Huey Model (1 Viewer)

[tmanthegreat]

The new UH-1D Huey model from K&C is beautiful! A solid and well-executed model that is the perfect complement to their Vietnam range. I finally got my Huey opened and into a fitting display… Even figured out a way to show the model hovering in flight

Outstanding!

Good Job on solving the hovering aspect. Allows for more room on the display as well as making it more realistic. Robin.

Great idea and execution.

Looks brilliant mate

 

[BHogan]

Nicely done! Did you attach the Huey to the plastic or is it just resting on the plastic pieces?

Looks great!

Wow! Great idea to use the acrylic to display in flight mode. While the pictures look fantastic, I bet seeing this dio up close looks even better.
A deserving display for an excellent piece.
Love your photography as well!

Thank you all for the very kind comments and compliments on my diorama… It all made my day

BHogan, to answer your question, the Huey model is just resting on the plastic supports and is actually very stable. I used an Acrylic Display Riser that a friend and fellow Treefrog forum member, Corey, directed me to on Amazon a few weeks ago. I picked the riser with the desired height, turned it over, secured it to the diorama base with some double sided tape, and then covered it over with the soil and other bits to hide it. The technique seems to work well!

Here’s a pic of the set of acrylic risers I got and a link to them on Amazon:
