hawkwrench Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Your cockpit is looking totally cool. Love the little details, especially the ICS commo bag behind the pilot's seat! I hate not being able to remember what everything on the hawk is. (Just getting old!!!) Tim Edited May 25, 2016 by hawkwrench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Cant wait to see this finished. When you glue the floor and roof to the fuselage halves, there are huge gaps, that will be a challenge. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hate not being able to remember what everything on the hawk is. (Just getting old!!!) Tim Thanks Tim! I have a hard time remembering too. Sometimes I wonder if I am remembering a little detail or if I just made it up subconsciously - especially when I can't find any pictures to back me up! I still need to make a logbook and a -10 to sit on top of the dashboard. Maybe a few helmet bags too... :D -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rod. yeah, I noticed that there is a lot of slop in the fit of the floor to the fuselage halves. Lining it all up is going to take a lot of fitting and measuring! -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I still want to put a few details in my model. I just ordered a helmet in flightbag from Reedoak. I tried to put up a pic of it, but I can't get it to work. Next payday, I'll order Live Resin's aviator night vision goggles and mount them on the helmet. Looks like we're gonna have to scratchbuild a logbook and kneeboard crew dog! Get on Reedoak.com. It's a company owned by Norbert and he's got some cool stuff on there.

salvador001 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Reedoak makes the perfect HGU-56P helmets. I will buy 4 of them for my UH-60A, will hang two of them to the cockpit hooks and the other two on the crew chief/medic seats. Rod.

hawkwrench Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Reedoak's helmets are the shanizzle nizzle! They are cool looking. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anvil6 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 a bit more progress made last night... I added the photoetch to the yaw pedals, then painted and installed them. I also painted the pitot system gizmos on the firewall silver, and when they dried I coated the boxy bits with tamiya clear blue to make it look like blue anodized metal. hopefully it will be passable after its all buttoned up and put together. it all looks very brand new for the moment but there will be some wear and tear before the interior assembly gets installed. I just realized my first aid kits are presently unserviceable. I better get them to the ALSE shop for inspection and certification... ;) -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 How in the world did you make those yellow tags dude? That is so cool! Never seen those tags done before. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anvil6 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 How in the world did you make those yellow tags dude? That is so cool! Never seen those tags done before. Tim i just found an image of a yellow tag online, scaled it to size in a photo editing software, and printed a bunch from a color printer, then cut them out with a very sharp blade. for 1/35th scale, i made it about 3/16" long at final print. -Ramon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hope mine turns out as good as yours. The tags are amazing, first time i see those on a model. Fire extinguishers looks darn good. Keep on with that great work! Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
