  1. As for the NAVY-versions (HH-60H and SH-60) I´d say Hobbyboss. There are several reviews available on the net. As for the Blackhawk... Italeri/Revell is the best choice, although there is much room for improvement. HAJO
  2. Awesome! Could you give us some insight about the original aircraft? It looks pretty cool with the camo and the shark mouth! HAJO
  3. Does anyone have some pictures or a good link that shows the italian navy (Marina) AB.212 with the Marte anti-ship-missile? I know there is the MK1 version as well as the MK2 version - any pictures are good for me! Thanks! HAJO
  4. Oh yes, painting and decaling at that scale is possible and can lead to great results: My 1/700 "Theodore Roosevelt" HAJO

    Pucara armament

    Hope you like the finished model! I enjoyed the model very much and the canopy is one of the clearest pieces I´ve ever seen... HAJO
  6. Hmm, do we have to be afraid if Anthony comes to a certain location? Maybe the earthquakes are travelling with him! Just kidding, hope everyone is ok... HAJ
  7. It´s a girl... You get a bit annoyed if you have her around the whole day, because she starts talking when she wakes up, makes a short pause during her sleep after lunch and then the blablabla goes on until she goes to bed in the evening. But it´s still cute! ;) HAJO
  8. You are right, that is a wire strike, but it´s molded to the strut and therefor not an individual part. Made the ultimative test just some hours ago: Looks like my daughter is really smart (like her parents ;) ), the camoflage couldn´t fool her, she identified the object loud and clear as "huuschaubaaa" (=helicopter). ;) HAJO
  9. Welcome to some strange zoological stuff! This is the 1/72 Revell kit of the Tiger UHT, already my third one (or fourth, if I´d count the old and not proper molding of the first prototype that appeared about 20 years ago). The new kit shown here is a pleasure to build. The idea came to my mind when I stumbled across the pictures of a german prototype Bo-105 in a giraffe-scheme that was used for testing a mast-mounted sight, somewhen in the early eighties. It made "click" because my little, 1,5 year old daughter's most loved animal is the giraffe, or "gieackie", as she pronounces it.... :D

    I´m planning to do the version in Urugay Air Force markings. HAJO

    Pucara armament

    Thanks a lot! According to this picture... (Source: http://www.freewebs.com/militargaviones/ia58pucara.htm) ...the Pucara carried MERs. Were they carried at the centerline? HAJO

    Pucara armament

    Can someone provide me with a couple of pictures of armed Pucaras? I just bough the Airfix kit and would like to see some pics to get an idea what to hang on the wings and what not. Thanks! HAJO

    AMT AC 130U

    Please send me your mail-adress via PM, I now have JPGs of the instruction sheet. HAJO
  15. Arkhunter, PE-weapons? Does that look good? I´d be afraid they would be too much 2D... HAJO
  16. www.plasticsoldierreview.com will be an excellent source to start looking for a nice set of figures. HAJO
  17. Sorry, I owe you an update and pictures of the just finished model. Here is the latest picture while still in progress: The chin-turret is from a Matchbox Cobra, the minigun will be coming from an Italeri HH-53-kit. And the finished model, I had to change the aft gear position, it´s sitting more aft than at the usual SH-2F. And some details: HAJO
  18. That´s indeed a piece of sprue, it´s the part that usually works a pin mountle for the MG. I kept it to use it as "mount" in the door as well. I made a short barreled M60 with forward grip once as armament for my SEAL-team: http://www.modellversium.de/galerie/14-sch...t-eigenbau.html I´d love to post some better pictures of the boat, but it´s at my parents place. Otherwise I´d be able to show you that the M60 used in the HH-2 still is a bit longer than a "Shorty M60". HAJO

    AMT AC 130U

    I have the instructions... but unfortunately they´re at my parents place, are you patient enough to wait for 2,5 weeks? :lol: HAJO
  20. On our local exhibition... Check the helo-forum for the "Looking for M60s"-thread, I think someone found a proper dealer in there. Got it: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=223554 HAJO
  21. That´s photo-etched stuff made by a fellow (=german) modeller for his 1/87 scale tanks. Don´t know if he´s still selling those. HAJO
  22. The second gunner is finished! Here pictured with the slide-door: I also finished the mount for the TAT-102. HAJO
  23. I don´t know who bought all that aeroclub MGs, since mine looked like **** when I bought them... For M240s, try to get hold of the Dragon Humvees (2 in a box). They are very nice detailed. HAJO
  24. We´re moving on! Added another armor plate for the gunner and of course the crew has now taken a seat: The other side, I made a slide-door using a piece of paper. The Co-pilot got a map to navigate around the known SAM-sites and FLAK-nests. This is where the other gunner will have his place: And here is the other gunner, I used another Preiser-figure of the modern Luftwaffe ground crew set. The M60 is of Roco Minitanks, although in 1/87 scale, it fits perfect in 1/72, so it´s propably to big for the intended use with 1/87 models... HAJO
