HeavyArty Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Lucky you. Mine is still between here and Korea. A question for you. How do the new parts look? Specifically, are there any details on the insides of the new doors? On the deck tractor, I'm not so sure it is too big. Are you using actual dimensions to convert the jeep? If not, the Verlinden one is probably closer since the actual deck tractor is not based on a jeep frame and is a lot wider than a jeep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ill take a lot at the details for u inside new doors. No verlinden way to big compare to helo,l will take photo next to it so u can see. How long did u place ur order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 How about checking out the new FLIR and posting a pic of it? I'm curious if it in any way looks like the new MH-60M FLIR? Thanks! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Heres how it looks next to helo and with a 1/35 figure....too big of difference in scale. No details inside cockpit doors whatsoever...will need to add photoetched Edited November 16, 2014 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) How long did u place ur order? Mine shipped about 10 days ago, so it should be here any day now. I'm keeping an eye on the post box. As to the deck tractor, I'm still not convinced it is too much out of scale to work. The actual vehicle is pretty big and very wide. It is as wide as a Huey. Also, that Academy Huey crew chief figure is undersized in my opinion. I found a document with measurements for the tractor you have, an A/S32A-31A Aircraft Tow Tractor: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&ved=0CE8QFjAK&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnavybmr.com%2Fstudy%2520material%2F14353a%2F14353A_ch2.pdf&ei=ABpoVJr_BtD9yQS2p4KoCQ&usg=AFQjCNHVENcR19pmHr3hEtObSNlTfL2Oaw&bvm=bv.79142246,d.aWw&cad=rja Edited November 16, 2014 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
