rotorwash Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm not even that big of a Hawk fan but that is a fantastic scheme. I'd love to build it in 1/72. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twong Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The new Italeri 1/48 HH-60J 2741 has new parts to depict a somewhat accurate HH-60J. It is still the same tooling as the HH-60H but with new "J" specific parts added. They also updated the cockpit doors to the correct doors and added the port side pylon extension. A lot of the parts could also be used to update the HH-60H. There is still a lot missing but it is an improvement over the original HH-60H. http://www.super-hobby.it/products/HH-60J-U.S.-COAST-GUARD.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Appears they've done one in 1/72 as well. Any intel on how good that is?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't own any in 1/72 but from online photos, the Italeri one isn't bad. The Hobby Boss 1/72 one is pretty nice too. Both have their problems but the Hobby Boss fuselage has a little nicer details over the Italeri. If it was me, I would mix and match parts from both but use the Hobby Boss main fuselage. I would use the pylons, main and tail rotors from Italeri and mix and match the rest like the interior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sausage Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 This is great. Can we get decals for this scheme anywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 The airplane has only just showed up in real life. I doubt anyone would have had time to even draw, much less print decals for it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Why can't you use the Fireball Modelworks CG sheet? The text colors and emblem looks the same, just changed the fuselage color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twong Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) The markings are generic, you don't need anything special. Just use the regular decals. All you need is to paint it yellow. Here is a great walk around from Prime Portal that shows the same MH-60 6003 in the standard red/white paint scheme. The markings are all the same. http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/michael_block/mh-60j_6003/ EDIT: Sorry, the red/white scheme has black and yellow text on the doors and part of the fuselage where the centennial yellow one has the text in red.

zerosystem Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Wouldn't have to worry about masking for the red nose and fuselage bands... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
