I just received the kit today it will be my 3rd 1/72 helo. Its a nicely detailed kit but it doesnt list the colors to paint the interior. Looking at the box art it appears to have the same paint scheme as the UH model hueys. Is this correct? Also need some tips for masking and painting the cockpit glass.

Yes, the interior is in shades of gray just like a Huey. I use masking tape to tape off the canopy. Lay the masking tape on and cut around it with a sharp xacto blabe. Peel away the tape to expose the frames and leave the glass parts covered. Spray or airbrush the fuselage color, glosscote, apply decals, dullcoat, then remove the tape. Works great every time.

Good luck.
