Hajo L. Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 For overall amusement I´m showing some pictures of my actual project, a HH-60 of the USAF. This one will complete my collection of CSAR-birds I´ve already done (MH-53 and HH-47). I decided to built the weather-radar from scratch, I think it had been a Harpoon-missile warhead before the conversion. The pilots are not the best, the gunners will be much better. I made a quite simple FRIES-system, the cargo space will be occupied later by a single PJ and some stuff like backpacks and a stretcher. The small "stubwings" had to be scratched using the original cut-off wings (I´m using the Italeri MH-60K kit) and some filler. The ammo-boxes are left-over from the Dragon 1/35 pilot/gunner-set and should have been used as ammoboxes for the 1/35 M-60. The look also good as boxes in 1/72... I also included a additional fuel tank in the back. These tiny little things are really awesome: Our hobby-club president made them for me, I hope they make excellent chaff/flare-launcher front-ends.

Bulldog 09 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 These tiny little things are really awesome: Our hobby-club president made them for me, I hope they make excellent chaff/flare-launcher front-ends. HAJO I could use a couple of those in 72nd and 48th. Any chance he would make more in those scales? :D Thanks, Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 In case you don´t have someone who is able to do photoetched parts in your region (I´m from germany), I will ask him. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Rgr, I will contact him. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I sent him an email, but no response so far... OK; the helo is nearly finished, just some little parts missing (IR-jammer, right cargo-door) and some spots need to be painted. Closer: I like how the gunners came out, they really appear like scanning the ground for any targets. PJ and right gunner: Also very nice: The chaff-/flare-launchers: HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LITTLE BIRD 117 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Nice dude! I really like the ext. mini gun ammo boxes. Good luck with the rest of the build! Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Looking very good. The muzzle on that minigun looks a little too big though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yes, I used an old Q-tip for this one, I need to use some smaller muzzles, but don´t know where to look for them or how to scratch them... (Maybe I just pretend that it´s a new Mini-Gun-Silencer for AFSOC... :) ) HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Just before a thunderstorm broke out we had wonderful light outside and I took my finished HH-60 out for some pictures. Here are the results: HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
