1/48th Pave Low build dilemma


Recommended Posts

I have a 1/48th Pave Low ready to be built but once its done the rotor diameter is going to be massive and I won't be able to display it around the house...unless I get a divorce.

Has somebody thought of a way to detatch the rotors temporarily so that the model will fit easily on a shelf?

Cheers,

Neil.

I don't want the blades folded as but then I don't want to remove the entire rotor hub as well when its on display.

I have considered cutting the rotors at the base, drilling a hole into both ends and inserting a metal pin/lug and when the need to attatch the rotors presents itself, I can can then just push them onto the pin.

Any thoughts on that idea?

Yeah, the decals have been a pain in the butt. I've got decals from an Academy MH-60 so that I can use the stars and bars then I've managed to get a full set of decals for the Academy CH-53E which covers most of the stencils. Its just the serial numbers I need now.

That helped alot with the weathering.

Good luck with your Pavelow. I scratch built mine form the RoG kit.

Here is a link to my build if you are interested.

No Pavelow decals on the market. You will have to piece together a set from the spares bin. The pins in the hub and blade idea was what I was going to say. Good idea.

Gents:

48th scale Pavelow decals are in the works!

Would there be any interest with ARC'ers if I managed to get some A4 prints of the photo I originally posted in this thread? I think I could roughly get them printed with a company for around £5 GBP including shipping within the UK. For the US, I'd have to get one packaged up to see how much shipping would cost. I don't think it'd be that much.

A3 could be possible on request?

Mark, I'd love some details about the decals. Will they be ready within the next two months?
