Where was this for my dio Looks awesome! Can't wait to see how it tangibly looks... Take care, Austin

double post...

Check this out: http://www.armycast.cz/products12.html You can order directly from them... Take care, Austin

Love the subject, although I'm a bit biased :) The scratch work is amazing/inspiring/etc as always! Take care, Austin

Very beautiful! Those guardians are some pretty nice vehicles... Good job with the OD on the -100 as well. Take care, Austin

Thanks guys! Hajo, I'll add an assault pack when I get home... Daan, the M-14 is from the Pegasus Vietnam Marines kit, just carved off the extra stuff. Norbert, thanks! I might be "using" your refueling dio in the future Take care, Austin

Talk about getting lost in details, that is beautiful! Take care, Austin

I'll be watching with interest, as I'll be attempting the grafting method as one of my next builds... Take care, Austin

No figures? It's aight... Lookin forward to a beautiful build Take care, Austin

Thanks Ray! The camo is painted. I don't know of any decals for uniforms in 1/72, although they would be very welcome. And while I was taking pictures, here's some more of the CO-NG bird as well... Take care, Austin

Part II Take care, Austin

Thanks! Norbert, I took your advice and added some chipped plaster to enhance the gravel look. Needless to say, it looks a lot better with it. Matt, a VIP bird would be pretty cool. Not too keen on firehawks, I think the paint jobs aren't very attractive on a blackhawk. The old black and gold CBP blackhawk is a pretty sharp scheme, one I wouldn't mind doing in 1/72... I finished it this morning. Many thanks for all of your suggestions and motivation along the way, and a big thanks to Mason & Floyd for the decals!

7 EH-60 pics here, new to me, possibly new to you: http://www.planepictures.net/netsearch4.cgi?stype=actype&srng=2&srch=Sikorsky+EH-60A+Blackhawk Take care, Austin

Awesome pics! From a quick google search, This picture of 360 showed up in DAP configuration... Take care, Austin

Yup, the RoG & Italeri UH-60 kits are the same. I'd avoid the MH-60K/HH-60G boxings as the parts are a bit different (have the upswept ESSS) for the Aussie scheme...

Thanks for the pics! They are much appreciated Take care, Austin

Okay, starting from a blank slate, I'd roll with the Italeri UH-60 (the "night raid" version has decals for an Aussie version). With a little TLC, they look awesome. If you are looking for more of an OOB type build, I'd probably stick with Hasegawa, although there is a serious shape issue with the tail rotor gear box bulge, sparse interior, and it lacks the HIRSS (which you could rob from the Italeri UH-60 or the Armycast UH-60L upgrade). Edit: This just popped into my head. You'll need the square stabilizer. That's in the Italeri kit & Armycast UH-60L upgrade as well... HTH, Aust

But could a CF-105 air drop the M113 Gavin?

It has the sugar scoop & there's an OH-6 next to it as well... I wonder when it'll get released... Take care, Austin

I wish I could, but I have no idea... According to thatguy96 I was trying to highlight the exposed ESSS mounts with that pic, wondering if the antenna on the MH-60K mounted on the two sets of rings. HTH, Austin

Does anyone know what month the White Sands Hueys are supposed to be flying until? Take care, Austin

Italeri is repopping their AH-6, very nice! Take care, Austin

Could they be modified from the type that Taiwan uses with their S-70s? It's hard to tell from the pics I've been looking at... Maybe the reason could be similar to why they use the downswept ESSS...

Thanks Shawn! I finished the M240H's. Now it's time to do the mounts and finish the figures! Take care, Austin
