ice225 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi, after some years I try to start again with building a kit and I already found a projekt I´d like to do. It will be a German Navy Sea King (Mk. 41) in 1:72. Now I´m doing some research on it. Can someone tell me if some of the ground equipment shown in the linked photo is available in 1:72? The "box" on the right should be something to warm up air to dry the helo after flight and the left one seems to be a power unit. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Germany---N...amp;photo_nr=72 I also search this fire extinguisher shown in this pic. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Germany---N...amp;photo_nr=77 I´m not good in scratch-building so I hope for a kit somewhere out there (to be honest - I never tried scratchbuilding anything before). Hopefully my rusty school-English is understandable. I hope I didn´t produce too many mistakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 There is/was a kit (Revell I think) out there with some European ground equipment. Right now I cannot remember if it was part of an a/c kit or just the gear by itself? Why not try scratch building the green box in your first pic it looks quite basic and should be easy to do and good practice for other projects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hasegawa has a couple aircraft ground crew/equipment sets in 1/72. You may find something in one of them that will work. Weapons Loading Equipment Aerospace Ground Equipment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyboyf18 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Had a look around and found; http://www.72scale.com/diorama/dioramaAv.htm a list of airfield equipment available in 72nd; http://www.modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=705 this is the kit I was thinking about but comes with a Hardened Shelter and Typhoon. More for you to look at!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ice225 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 :) Wow! So many tips - thank you very much. I think this flightpath-set is worth a try to get the fire extinguisher and some tow-bars: http://www.djparkins.clara.net/fltpath/fp7...diorama_set.htm But some of the other suggestions are close too.

ice225 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Now it get´s difficult. I decided to build the main rotor in folded position but I know, that the revell-kit doesn´t support that. Are there any aftermarket parts or other kits to get a folding main rotor or is scratchbuilding my only chance? It would be great too, if someone could help me with some links to already built sea kings in 1:72, where I could see how to fold the rotor. Thank you all for your support!
