The only interior parts are the seats and console. The hull was thinned and a rear bulkhead and floor was added from styrene sheet. The seats were such rough castings they needed filler!

The main rotors were also very rough. Some air bubbles needed filling and they needed reshaping - this is the start of the process.

Rotors reshaped, main rotor hub parts made from brass tube and wire, styrene tube and sheet. Still a lot of detail to add

My version of the Flying Checkpoint Hiller UH-4 seen in Destination Moon. The Unicraft kit is a very rough resin kit with no detail parts - you need to build your own rotor hub , main undercarriage and any details.
