Huh, never seen a boomless/hoistless MH-47 before! Tim

Great start on her Gino. How was the fuselage fit? Did you glue the sidewalls to the fuselage sides again? Tim

No, that's definitely not it. We'll probably never see the real thing. The 160th did say, that the zero dark thirty helicopters were a pretty good representation of the real thing. So the film's birds are somewhat close at least. Tim

Thems fightin words!!! Tim

Patience young skywalker!!! Tim

I've been working with Reskit about some stuff and more is planned. At least the reskit pieces have the bridge and flight control rods. And what do the rods connect to??? Hmmm, we'll see!!! Tim Tim

Ok. Trying to figure out the best way to paint it without using straight black. I've had some guys say 50/50 NATO black and Helo drab. Tim

Thanks Jorge. What color are you using to paint your MH-60L? Tim

About what pressure? How do you clean the airbrush afterwards? Tim

What's the secret for spraying MRP paints? Tim

Fozzy, you've done lost your mind!!! Absolutely mind-blowingly good detail that I could NEVER even try! (I don't like yogurt either!!!) Tim

Now the Testors MM line is being discontinued, there goes the Helo drab that's been my go to paint for Army helos. Has anyone used the new AK interactive helo drab? If so, is it any good and post pics if you've got them showing the new paint on the helo. Tim

Come across this pic a few days ago of the NOTAR test helo of the 160th. I can't make out the serial # on the cowling. Tim

Niiice!!! What did you use for the hose? Tim

A little bit of an update. I glued down a piece of styrene, painted it and weathered it to represent the aluminum plate that the C2 console seats (UH-1 Huey seats) were mounted to. After that I glued on the crew chief sidewall armor to the cabin walls and began to layout how the MH-60L would have been equipped. I'm sure it will change once I hear from its crew chief. Tim

It would be nice if an aftermarket company would create a backdated OH-58 set using the MRC kit as a bass. Tim

Sot today I scrachbuilt the FRIES release handle using some leftover PE and some evergreen stock. Pretty cool I think. Tim

Looks like Floyd in the front seat!!! Tim

Another one. It doesn't say anything about Prime Chance. Tim

Here's a new pic of an early TF-160 (pic labeled 1986-87) AH-6. Not sure what model though. I'm sure you guys know. Tim

I'm sure Floyd Werner will love that! He might even want to buy it!!! Lol Tim

I finished up the right side cabin sidewall tonight. Also, I did a little more work on the cabin roof. I like the way it's turned out except for the left cabin light. I'll have to fix that tomorrow night. Tim

Armor-alled tires? Really??? I guess the US doesn't want international customers to have the UES. Tim

Gino, no. Those panels were made for a set "to come out very soon" wink wink. Maybe those earlier panels can work. I have a few sets of those, but never tried to see if they fit. Tim

A little bit of work on the floor armor tonight followed up by laying down some Africa dust where the crew chief's boots would have been while sitting. Tim
