planeboy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Greatings all. I have recently aquired a ch-46d and I am wondering if there are any aftermarket sets available for folding the rotors. TIA Matthew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I don't recall any in 72 or 48 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Check out this build article over at Internet Modeler to see how you might go about doing it yourself....http://www.internetmodeler.com/2004/octobe...iation/CH46.php Looks pretty straight forward, and I've been strongly considering his approach for one of my phrog builds. Andy Very nice. There is one more book that came out after that article, Seaknight Family by Phillipe Dognon & Christian Bouschon from Landing Zone Publications. We need more Marine decals for that bird, A/D/F and E models. Currently only Zotz has one option for an E. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy The problem is the Internet Modeler article has the rear blades wrong. Look at this pix. See how the rear blades fold forward, angle down and sideways? He just made the fold forward and flat. He or she did a lot of work and then fixed them at the wrong angle. http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Marin...-46E/1260136/M/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SSgtd6152 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 as finding phrogs with the blades stowed are hard to come by in photographs.Andy I'll fix that for you, when we get off the USS ESUCKS. I go take some now and post them when we get back to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SSgtd6152 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) If possible, close-ups of each rotor head showing how the pivots fold would be super. Just make sure you've got yer cranial on, Marine! That is what I got, I do not know when we are going back, we are doing the Burma 500 with no RTB. The Skids and $hitters have been in Thailand for the last 30 days!!! We (I.E the Phrog guys) all hope that one part of there (IE. skids and $hitter Guys)bodys rot off!!!! But hey I've been to Thailand 6 times I'm not missing any thing:thumbsup: I've got a wife and 3 kids now, but I'm missing out on all of the BEER!!!!! The bad part is we are not doing any thing just C.Q's. But now I am ticked off about missing out on Hong Kong TomcatTweaker and I had a list of about 20 kits I was going to pick up for us!! But on a good note.........you can eat the food on this boat, it's not that bad!!! for the boat chow!! Edited May 30, 2008 by SSgtd6152 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuperCobra Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No problem. I thought that these were up on the ARC walkaround page but I don't see them. I'll have to send Steve another CD now that he is doing walkarounds again. In the meantime if anyone needs something specific let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCobra Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 All I see is the RED X, the MEU S-6 has photobucket and Imageshack blocked. What is it? It was a tattoo of the Dragon (kanji?) character. On my last float with them about half of flightline got that tattoo. Talk about squadron loyalty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't looked but were those images on that CD you awhile back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCobra Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I haven't looked but were those images on that CD you awhile back? I don't remember but judging from the date on the pictures (1999-2000) they probably were - I think I could fit everything I had on one CD then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
