Great work so far! However, it does remain a mystery to me why no other aftermarket resin company (besides of course Attic, which needs to remain in the attic imho) has tackled the Pelican/Jolly Green Giant in 48th? With its' USAF, USCG and even foreign operators, it should be fairly popular. I still have fond memories of the old 72nd Revell version, that along with the CH-54 Tarhe were staples of my early kit building!

Maurizio,

I have been away from this forum for a while, but was pleasantly surprised to see your build thread!  Remarkable!  I love the USCG livery and have long wanted todo an HH3F  conversion!  Your step by step thread is the perfect guide!  I too have only1 Hasegawa kit.  I have attempted to get an Attic Resin kit without success...  Funds are non-existent currently to purchase a second kit.  I look forward to additional updates!

Thanks mates for your comments.

Here is the last addiction, the Quickbook seats. Much better than original....

I'm very slow on this project since I would finish some more in order not to have a lot of opened projects and boxes around.... time to time something new is coming out ....

cheers

Maurizio

Dear Don,

many thanks for your comment.  Sponsons are from Attic conversion. I saved them from trash can since they are still workable (not 100% accurate). You can see the new rear edges I made making them sharper.

I made those holes for made them lighter in weight.

Since the Attic lower part of the fuselage is not straigh I must use the kit piece, a piece of plasticard and only the very rear part of Attic resin conversion. I add some plasticard pieces for strengh the entire piece. I used CA glue with Soda Carbonate for gluing the interiors. It is very strong.

The HH-3 rotor head differs from the Sea King one. No folding blade capability and some "weights" are added. I added some plasticard pieces and sandpapered to the wanted shape.
