hawkwrench Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Sweet job on the hawk, Rod. I especially love the hoist. She's coming along great! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Very nice. It is coming along great. ... Charlie Company, 2nd Batallion, in Iraq ca.2008. I think you are missing something in your unit description. It should be 2nd Battalion, something Regiment, something Combat Aviation BDE (CAB), something Division; like 2nd Bn, 3rd Aviation Regiment (2-3 AV), 3 CAB, 3ID.

Rick in Maine Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Excellent work on that UH-60. You've used the aftermarket pieces very effectively, too. It's a superb job of making this one look real, inside and out. I'll be watching for the finished model. Rick in Maine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thank you guys for your encouragement. Heres another update. Been working on the flare launcher mounts made completely from scratch, and i made the HF towel bar style antenna on the tail boom. Some small details were added to the fuselage too. Man, im starting to like how its building up, the model is a beast. Hope u all like it. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CharlieUH-1H Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 superb!... like I said! till today I was a NO fan of the black hawk lol ... but I like it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 How did you do the towel rack antenna? (The wire antenna running along the tailboom) Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 The antenna is made with stretch sprue, the supports with styrene sheet and stretch sprue. It is a little difficult, if you want it more simple you can use evergreen styrene rod. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotorwash Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Looking great, Rod! That antenna on the tailboom looks like a kit part. I think you could give Oliver a run for his money with this build! Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
