The type A/C shouldn't matter. I could be dead wrong, but all the engine compartments I've worked on were all the aluminum color. So I would think the Navy birds are no different. Tim

Nope, the engine bay walls are an aluminum color. No chromate anywhere. Tim

Glad your surgery went well. Get healed up brother! Tim

Progress is coming along quite nicely crewdog. Sorry to hear about the eye issue. I hope you heal alright and looking forward to hearing from you again soon! Tim

Go take a look at Pete Fleischmann's HH-60 build over on LSP. He has an in-flight diorama and there you can see the strut extension. I'm a former UH-60 maintenance crew chief and a modeler and wanting to know the strut extension at fly is a little AMS, but it's your model. I can guarantee you no one will notice if you have the correct LG stance at fly unless you don't have one at all. PS-- Don't forget to extend the tail landing gear strut as well. Tim

Any chance you can make the Upturned Exhausts in 1/35 for the KH H-60??? Tim

It was also published in FSM magazine! Totally awesome build!!! Tim

I've seen a few videos of them and you'll never catch mr riding in one of them! Tim

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Hope all is well now. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this diorama. Where in Ky are you? Tim

Tim Hudson. You oughta try and snag a Kitty Hawk 1/35 MH-60L or HH-60G kit. Their sweet!!! What was your MOS in the AF? Tim

Great start on the hawk so far! Are you with the 238th Med or the Assault? I've got a buddy who's a crew chief over in the 238th there in FFT. Tim I was in the Ky NG working on hawks back in the late 80's early 90's.

Jorge, switch over to LSP. Tim

Got any pics of the exhaust in progress? Tim

Good luck with finding that model. You're only hope is 3d or an aftermarket company (which would be a really good idea!!!) Tim

Man, you work quick. Another masterful model by you in the making Oliver! Tim

You entering any models? I tried to finish up a helo I've been working on, but some health issues popped up. Tim

Me and the wife plan on coming up on Saturday. Tim

Thanks Holmes. It's a slow build, but getting there! Tim

Wow, that instrument panel looks like the real thing! (But that's not surprising coming from you Oliver) Tim

I'd stay away from that guy. His stuff is nice-yes, but a wee bit overpriced and has not fulfilled orders after taking some modeler's payments! Tim

Sure would be nice if they could make some current H-60 pilot seat belts. Tim

Are these the 1/48 scale sets, or is this a new set in 1/35 scale??? Tim

What are the IP addition and moving map mount display look like? Anyone got a reference pic? Tim

I came across the pic of a 160th MH-60M and it looks like 2 new countermeasure detectors on the nose. Hmmm, wonder what those are? EDIT: After doing some snooping around, they aren't CM after all. Those are part of the DVE or Degraded Visual Environment sensors that are new to Army helos. It's no wonder, their 1st in line! The parasitic drag has to suck for this bird! Tim

Indoors and outdoors???????? It's actually called interior and exterior! All "prestigious" brands know that. Tim
