  1. Reedoak is not showing the nose on his site. You can ask him about it though. http://reedoak.com/ The other option is from Adriatic Models out of Italy. They offer a bunch of sets to convert it to a USMC UH-34D. Adriatic Models | The best of Modelling: Airplanes Helicopters and more EDIT: Adriatic is no longer showing the H-34 parts. They used to have a bunch of sets including the nose, engine, cockpit, cabin, transmission, etc. Maybe he still has them, just not on his site. You may want to ask about them. I used parts fro
  2. Hard to believe it has been so long. To those who were there, I salute you. To those who didn’t come back, may you rest in peace.
  3. Still not right. The front lights in the guards on the fenders are blackout marker lights. They look like this. The squares below the headlights are blank on the right side and a blackout drive light (with a hood) on the driver's side. I'm not sue what the second light on the left fender is supposed to be. It is not usually there on a U.S. military vehicle. There should not be smaller turn signal lights either. They just didn't have them since these trucks didn't commonly drive on roads. Not sure how you have the rear, but they are si
  4. Not really, the K model had a different nose radar/FLIR mount and other sensors not present on the MH-60L. This kit includes all the parts needed for an MH-60L.
  5. Very nice. I love all the added hoses. Great job.
  6. Good to know. Is the IP the kit part, or a 3D printed detail item? It looks great.
  7. Very nice. It is looking great. How much of the lines did you add and what comes in the kit?
  8. My guess is that it is still too new and since it is quite expensive, it will take a while for people to get them and build them.
  9. Floyd lays out the differences of each model well here (scroll down to the fifth post): AH-1F/S - Helicopter Modeling - ARC Discussion Forums (arcforums.com)
  10. Because it is. It is actually a test bird w/the downswept ESSS wings which were not accepted into service.
  11. Don't know if you have seen these, but here you go. It seems pics are hard to come by.
  12. Maybe limited use as the conflict wound down. "HH-2D search & rescue variant, operated by the US Coast Guard. Six of these helicopters were delivered in 1970."
  13. "Riverine Operations: a US Army CH-54A Skycrane helicopter airlifts a river patrol boat (PBR) from Go Dau Ha to an operation on the upper Saigon River, June 1969, during the war in Vietnam." The date an place may help. The distinctive unit insignia should be helpful as well. Looks like 18420 on the tailboom too. If it is 18420, that would be 67-18420. In '69, it was assigned to the following: Circa 1968 Transferred to 478th Heavy Helicopter Company, 1st Cavalry Division, South Vietnam. Unit named
  14. AFV Club's M38A1. Academy M416 jeep trailer from their M151A2 kit (needs rounded fenders (come in the kit), to be narrowed, and have larger wheels added to be an accurate M100 trailer: https://www.vodnik.net/p1/m100_wip.html ), or just use a WWII jeep trailer w/larger wheels. You will need to either rework the Academy M151 hardtop or scratch one. Royal Model has the mattresses:
  15. All available in 1/35 and close enough in scale. I used 1/35 figures, weapons, etc. on mine and it looks fine.
  16. It looks great. Looks like all the hydraulic lines and hoses are present. Very nice.
  17. It's a crappy pic of a poor drawing. Why don't we wait until the kits comes out to start tearing them apart for accuracy.
  18. Looks like they are coming out w/an ACH-47A "Guns-A-Go Go" Gunship as well.
  19. Have you talked to Norbert at Reedoak? He may be able to work some mechanics into his future releases. He already has some modern French mechanics that are pretty generic and could work. 1/35 (reedoak.com)
  20. Perfect timing. I was looking for 2 hardened laptops for a future M1068 project. 2 ordered.
