HeavyArty Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I guess no one noticed the inaccurate ESSS mount location. Needs to be over fwd bulkhead location, not mid cargo door. The ESSS mount location is correct in the Academy kits and the build-up of this kit. It is over the forward bulkhead (between the gunner's window and the cargo door forward opening), not in the cargo door. Edited October 11, 2014 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Todd Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I agree the view angle made it appear further aft. Edited October 11, 2014 by Todd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I was hoping they would have provided you the parts to depict the rotors folded... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I was hoping they would have provided you the parts to depict the rotors folded... yes me too, Thats ok i will fold it anyway. I am building a one-man lift for the tail rotor to be inspected in this dio. I will post some photos tomorrow. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I was hoping they would have provided you the parts to depict the rotors folded... I plan on folding the rotors and tail too. They shouldn't be too hard to do. The blade props are just rods. The rest is just details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yup, you guessed it...the cabin is grey. I wonder why the Navy doesn't use the new crew seats? I understand they have better crash protection and are just over all better. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I can post any pics right now because I just switched my phone over to a G2 and i don't have my photobucket password on the new phone, but if you go to the MH-60M interior thread and click on the embedded link, you will see some pics of the new seats in a Army Blackhawk.

I understand they have better crash protection and are just over all better. Tim Hey- The MH-60S has been in the fleet since 2002-3, so clearly there were many Sierras delivered before the new seats were available. I'm not sure if the Navy plans to upgrade the crew seat or not. IMO there is a serious lack of cooperation and commonality between the services with the various Seahawk/Blackhawk helicopters.

doupnik Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Here is a cruddy pic of a pretty busy interior. I like the netting. And the old style seats. And since you will probably open some things up, some inspiration. :thumbsup:/> I have a bunch more, this was the first pull. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
