I've got 48-022 which I think is the same but the earlier version. Would that work? Graham

Thanks for the nice comments - I certainly can't take a lot of credit for the fix as I ended up buying an additional kit to replace the plastic. The extrication/repair of the resin interior and the removal of the other resin bits was really what was required. I learned that plastic is all good when it is heating up until it isn't - then it goes very quickly. Should have probably remembered that from setting my models on fire in the back yard as a kid! Fortunately resin has a higher melting point!

After a heavyweight, 15-round slugfest I finally beat this into a draw! Ever have one of those projects where if it can go wrong it does? This is that for me. Including melting the fuselage in a misguided attempt to dry some enamel paints. Switched back to Mr Color lacquers after that!! ARC'er @Bullymog was so very kind to get me the decals for this baby and despite the struggles it does fit my vision of a HH-60J Jayhawk. There’s definitely a lot going on – converting the Italeri HH-60H was basic enough, although I had to really work on the engine exhausts, cowlings etc, pl

Sad indeed - I used a lot of his stuff - particularly for flower-class corvettes and RAF aircraft appurtenances - very often highly detailed models unto themselves.

I've got this if you are still looking for it. Graham

Hi @AFammo - a fellow ARC'er had got me a set of decals. Now I just need time to finish! Sorry for not having closed this thread. Graham

I've done a couple - basic stuff of brass tube embedded with epoxy in the fuselage then slipped over an acrylic rod. I think the key is to get a composition that conveys the feel you want. Graham

I've used Plexiboxes4u to create display boxes for a number of models. You can specify the size you need. https://www.plexiboxes4u.com/

Long shot request! Anybody got this set and willing to sell it? Model Alliance No. MA-48186 U.S. Coast Guard Choppers Pt II (HH-3F Pelican and HH/MH-60J Jayhawk) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/model-alliance-ma-48186-us-coast-guard-choppers-pt-ii--619465 Thanks! Graham

Awesome - really great paint and weathering. Lovely scheme as well! Graham

Here’s Vargas’ 1/35 M777-A2 155mm Towed Medium Howitzer (vargasscalemodels.com) – it’s a 3D Printed model – the first I’ve tackled as a whole set. Overall the detail is really excellent and the end result is definitely impressive – I never appreciated just how big these guns actually are – and the coordinated manpower required to operate them. Being essentially a cottage kit – the instructions are sparse and there is generally a lack of

These are very nice!!

Just received John's DJRP pods and CRV7s - absolute masterpieces! Thanks so much for creating these!! Graham

L'Arsenal 2.0 did make some Paveway IVs in 1/48 scale - there's some at https://the48ers.com/paveway-iv-smart-bomb-x-2.html They are OK but a bit tough to clean up and paint. Having some printed ones would be ideal!!

Awesome!!
