JasonB Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Or any word of a 1/35th kit of a Coast Guard Jayhawk in the works? I know Cobra Company did a 1/48 conversion, but I thought there might be something in the larger scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrittMac Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Someone did a beautiful 35 conversion IIRC, but it was all scratched. I haven't heard of any 35th plans or anything, but it would be popular I am sure. I don't remember who did the Jayhawk, but it is probably here somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arkhunter2002 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 HeavyArty did. Very, very impressive.... http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?...&artid=2653 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonB Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yep thats nice. Too bad theres not one in kit form or conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks for the kudos guys. It was a challenging, but rewarding build. I say go for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 As you'd see if you look at the build thread, converting a UH-60 to an HH-60 would end up being as much resin as plastic. I'd be really surprised if it ever happens.. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be really surprised if it ever happens..J Who would have thought someone would bring out an update/conversion set for a 20 year old 1/32 Mig-29 kit that replaces 50 pecent or more of the kits plastic? Add in the upcoming wheel wells, missiles and cockpit, and I start to wonder why Zacto didn't just go whole hog and make an entirely new, and totally correct kit. I can't wait to see how much of the kit is left if he does a C conversion. It defintiely would be preferable if Academy (anybody for that matter) went ahead and did one in plastic for sure.

hooknladderno1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Gino, I too have a great appreciation for the fine job that you did. I hope to one day do a similar conversion. I have looked at your build thread about 10 times already. What a great job. Right now, I am just "getting my feet wet" with my first helicopter build. I don't know how you guys who build 1/48 and 1/72 scale do it! My hat is off to you. I will probably stick to the larger 1/35 and 1/32 scale kits for future projects. Thanks for your inspiration! Sincerely, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
