Build Your Own "Huey Hog" Model Chopper

Nothing is quite as satisfying as building and displaying your own model. Today we will be building 1:48 scale Huey Hog chopper. You will need a modeling knife and plastic cement, as well as the included paints and decals. Let’s begin:

---

1. Cut two halves of helicopter body (fig.1 and fig. 2) from plastic net A.

---

2. Shave plastic nubs from helicopter blades A, B, C, and D.

---

3. Glue body halves (fig. 1 and 2) together.

---

4. Carefully remove plastic support C from body to aid in door assembly.

---

5. Cut transparent window pieces (fig. 7) from plastic shims.

---

6. Cement pilot A into seat assembly A. Cement into cockpit of body.

---

7. Glue door assembly A into appropriate body side. Lines on side should match up.

---

8. Remove pilot B from shims and cement into seat B and cut off extra plastic. Glue into cockpit assembly.

---

9. Attach rotor assembly (fig. 5 and 9) to top of body with cement.

---

10. After securing windows (fig. 11,12,13,14, and 15) to body, cement landing gear to bottom of body.

---

11. Snap main blade assembly into slot 3 on top of body. If realistic motion is desired, blades need not be glued down. This will allow them to spin freely.

---

12. Apply decal A as pictured in diagram C.

---

13. Decorate chopper to your liking using included paints. Suggestions are available on packaging.

14. Congratulations! Your Huey Hog helicopter is now ready for display!
