11bee Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Oh my! Great job on the planks and fast rope frame. How about a really unique final touch - come up with the sugar scope IR exhaust shield? Looking forward to this set (and to the AH-6 mods). BTW - maybe I missed it but where you planning on including a FLIR? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewW Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Im not familiar with the sugar scoop exhaust on a MH-6 is it like the exhaust fitted to UH-1s. If you have any pictures we would look at making one up. The rest of the lumps and bumps including numerous boxes fitted to the belly as welol as the FLIR will be test fitted and photographed this weekend, so watch this space.

Chief Snake Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The exhausts diverters can be seen on the MH-6C aircraft in the pinned thread above. Chris M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The exhausts diverters can be seen on the MH-6C aircraft in the pinned thread above. Chris M Here are a few pics. Originals from Graham Stevens. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The exhausts diverters can be seen on the MH-6C aircraft in the pinned thread above. Chris M I was actually referring to the very rarely seen diverter that is attached to the exhaust of more recent Littlebirds. It's similar to a scoop, only it deflects the exhaust downwards. It is used in conjunction with a large intake on the upper left side of the fuselage. There was a thread on this forum that had some mediocre quality pictures of this device, mostly taken (if I remember correctly) on Littlebirds deployed in Somalia, however the search function here sucks and I wasn't able to locate it. My request was a bit tongue in cheek since I doubt there is enough public information out there to replicate this. Still would make for a cool looking helo if one ever gets released.

arkhunter2002 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Here's the two I found. I can't remember where I originally saw them. I believe they were only on AH-6's (not MH-6's) in Somalia... HTH, Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, that one is rarely seen. Probably because it was rarely used.....but I wouldn't be surprised if someone does have some decent photos of it and they'll get posted here.

MatthewW Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 We have the first dozen or so ready to go, just finishing off the instructions. Working on the AH-6M kit now. The rocket pods will have a choice of empty or a selection of Hydra 70 rocket types. As well as detailed M134s and GAU19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 We have the first dozen or so ready to go, just finishing off the instructions. As well as detailed M134s and GAU19 Interesting. I wasn't sure what you were going to do with regard to the miniguns. Another aftermarket guy opted to go with Live Resin's M134 in lieu of casting his own. Looking forward to seeing how yours compares to LR's. So far, your weapons look stunning. Not sure if you mentioned it earlier but any idea on pricing for these kits?
