salvador001 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow, the map looks so good. When you are calculating to finish the bird? This year? Cant wait to see it. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Map case looks really good. What special external features (antennas, bumps and warts, etc.) did this bird have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping to finish this early this summer, but at the current rate of production i will be lucky to finish it this year! -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anvil6 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Map case looks really good. What special external features (antennas, bumps and warts, etc.) did this bird have? Thanks! Aside from a few extra antennas, it was externally just a typical Alpha model with HIRSS exhausts and ESSS. On top was the Frisbee antenna (satcom, i think), then the long RV antenna, then behind that a blade antenna that had a matching one underneath the tail cone and also under the forward cabin area; and also the HF towel rack antenna long the lower left side. this one i will have to scratch build because its not like the one in the kit with the rounded forward end, and its not the other one that you see in a lot of pictures now with the step in the forward end that puts it above the transition section tie down point. of course, i never took a picture of that either... 8423940 about to cross the Sava River from Croatia into Bosnia -Ramon Edited April 12, 2016 by anvil6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Such a cool looking pic bro! I love the map. I wish I could find some sectional charts or approach plates to lay up front in my model! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim thanks! i just googled a map and printed it small. i even folded it a few times to make creases. you could probably do an image search and find something close enough to suit your needs :) -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CW4 Erick Swanberg Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Finally someone who knows what a Blackhawk is supposed to look like. Looking good love what your doing very realistic keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I really never thought of googling a map. I may have to try it. Erick, got any pics of your knee board/flight data manager? If so, can you post them? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CW4 Erick Swanberg Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) No all I have is a basic kneeboard. All the stuff is on the MFD's in the M. I never flew with the strap on moving map computer. They have them at Lowe but I was already teaching in the M so never used it Edited April 13, 2016 by CW4 Erick Swanberg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ok. Guess I'll have to scratchbuild a knee board to lay on the console. Unlessss! A certain ex crew chief wants to build one for us??? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anvil6 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 kneeboard, huh? well, as long as we are going in that direction, we will also need a few helmet bags, toolbox, ICS cords, a log book, a -10 manual, and the grenade boxes full of spit cans ( i always made sure NO ONE left spit cans in my aircraft - that stuff was stinky on a hot summer day!), gatorade bottles and a bag of sunflower seeds. :D -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anvil6 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 nearly finished with the map board. next up - the radius on the cyclic control sticks is a bit sharp so I will be replacing that with a paper clip. -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Looking good. The map board and radio rack came out really nice. Good job on them. What is that cockpit/cabin structure in the background? It looks nice too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What is that cockpit/cabin structure in the background? It looks nice too. thanks dude! in the background is the interior assembly for an Airfix 1/48 AH7 Lynx in progress. This is my second Lynx and I am hoping to do a better job than on the one i built last year(it is posted here: http://www.arcair.com/Gal14/13501-13600/gal13563-Lynx-Lomeli/00.shtm ). i am splitting my bench time between these two builds right now... -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Bench time. What's that??? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
