Looks great. Nice job on it.

Looking good so far. It should be an interesting layout once complete.

The 1/35 kit is pretty nice. They do a good job with 1/35 helicopters. Review: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tru/kit_tru_5101.shtml Built up (not mine). More here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235069593-135-trumpeter-mi-4-in-soviet-arctic-colors/

I soldered one up when I did a scratch/conversion back in '08. It was a PITA, but doable. Here is my take on an MH-60J back then: https://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/16/t/103483.aspx Now I have the KH HH-60H, WW set, and above mentioned printed basket (which is very nice) to build the yellow MH-60T. I'll get to it soon.

Looking great. The cockpit looks awesome.

There are lots of times you will see Black Hawks and Apaches, etc. flying overhead of Abrams and other ground elements. He is looking for when they would be on the ground together, which is very rare.

Not typically, especially if you build the Kitty Hawk from the box as an MH-60L, which is a 160th SOAR (Special Ops) helo. They almost never work w/or close to tanks.

Nice. The jump seat and door interior/steps look really good.

Definitely gray cockpit. The seats could be leather, but I have mostly seen cloth; either red or green. For the blade fold, Scalemates is showing a set to fold them by Scalewarship. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/scalewarship-seaknight48-sea-knight-rotor-fold--192235

Based on the two type of aircraft, I am guessing this is Vietnam era. If that is the case, yes, the cockpit would be dark gull gray w/red seats. Blacked out cockpits were not seen until the early '80s to allow NVGs to be used. Doh, I now see 1968 in the title.

Looking good. I vote folded. I know that the open version takes up a lot of space. The rotor disk is pretty big.

Hughes 500, OH-6 Cayuse Questions
HeavyArty replied to Steven H. McLain's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Here is a history of the Little Bird as used by the 160th SOAR. It covers the changes from the first AH/MH-6C to current AH/MH-6M. https://archive.aeroscale.net/forums/264568/ -
Yes, they are both the same plastic inside the boxes, just different parts used on each.

The MH-60S is basically an Army BlackHawk that has been navalized. As such, it has the larger cargo doors on both sides of the fuselage and the tail wheel at the end of the tail, below the stabilator. It has the folding naval rotors and a folding tail as well. The MH-60S can also have the ESSS (External Stores Support System) wings added to carry ordinance. The MH-60R is the newest version of the naval SH-60 line. It has the single, smaller cargo door on the starboard side and a window and sonabouy launcher on the port side, and the tail wheel tucked up u

Thanks Lee.

Finished (1/32°) AH-1G COBRA 4th Air Cavalry Division...
HeavyArty replied to top gun's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Very nice. It came out great. The Bravo 6 figures (1/35) fit perfectly with it as well. Great job. -
Thanks Steve. It was a fun build.

OK, so it is really finally done now. I received the exhaust parts from Adriatic Models, which are very nice. They were originally shipped from Italy on Dec 13, and I just got the small padded envelope yesterday. Man, international shipping is hosed right now. The actual exhausts. The parts I needed were mainly the tips for the exhausts which have a double pipe (inner and outer). I added the flat clamps and bolts from wine bottle foil and 1/35 bolt heads. I think they came out looking great. Fine’.
